After graduating in History from Peterhouse, Cambridge, Lawrence worked for Kleinwort Benson and Merrill Lynch, leading to six years running a strategic London-based brand consultancy. He had always wanted to spend more time writing, and in 2006 he placed an advert in Private Eye Magazine for a new speech writing service. After four years he dedicated his time exclusively to building the speech writing business. As ‘Great Speech Writing’ has evolved, Lawrence’s career has come full circle, and he has created ‘Great Speech Writing & Communications’. This pulls together strategic advisory services alongside a speech writing team. He stays involved in every part of the business, and remains true to his original promise that no speech, client or piece of business is too big or too small.

Naturally curious, Tom is happiest when writing across an eclectic range of subjects. And he loves working with clients to ensure their copy is nothing less than a perfect fit.
