Philip Collins

After Dinner Speaker of the Year 2009

Overview

Philip Collins was, until July 2007, Chief Speech Writer to the Prime Minister. His work at No.10 Downing Street entailed the co-ordination, writing and editing of all the PM's speeches. This meant control of the process from conception through to the final delivery. His work included addresses on European policy, education, health, law and order and the major conference speeches. Philip is full of insights into how to write the perfect speech and is a highly entertaining after dinner speaker.

Philip is currently a columnist at The Times and Visiting Fellow in the Department of Public Policy at Oxford.
