John Morgan

After-Dinner Speaker

"One of the best after dinner speakers you will ever hear" is the way John Morgan is described by his mother. He was born in Glasgow, brought up in Greenock, and has lived in Bridge of Allan for the last thirty-odd years. He describes the experience as "Glasgow born, Greenock bred, Bridge of Allan refined."

That cocktail of geographic influences allows John to be adaptable to any company. He is equally at home with the raw meat of the stag event or the sensitivity of the Immortal Memory.

Known for his often cutting humour, John likes to know something of the background to any event at which he is speaking. He believes it is important for a speaker to be part of a company rather than merely "in attendance."

His great love of Burns sees him chairing several Burns Suppers on an annual basis and performing at many more where his particular skills are Toast to the Lassies, the Immortal Memory and his own parody on one of Burn's greatest works - "Tam O' Punter". He has organised and chaired Burns Suppers in London, Manchester, Canada and Bridge of Allan!

In real life he is Chief Executive of The Morgan Partnership, one of Scotland's most prominent advertising agencies, and has also spoken on many occasions on advertising, business and entrepreneurial themes. He is always ready to tackle most things and has commentated at Highland Games, The World Pipe Band Championships and other sporting events.

John's humour is particularly suited to all male events but his style and repertoire adapts easily to mixed audiences.
