Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jeff Jacklin and I am an experienced speaker on the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire circuit. I have been on the speaker circuit for 12 years now and most of my bookings come through word of mouth or are repeat bookings. My talks have been well received by various groups including Probus, Women’s Institutes, U3A, Oddfellows, History Clubs, NHS Patient Groups, Church Fellowships, Rotary Clubs, Lady Drivers, Advanced Drivers and Community Groups, which I hope may be of interest to you.

I am now retired after serving for 30 years as an I.T. Director in a number of NHS hospitals up and down the country. One of my talks covers the formation of the NHS and goes on to look at some of the developments in healthcare over the last 70 years. Pathe News video clips as well as comedy sketches are included. I have given this talk over 400 times and I enjoy presenting it very much. A good mix of facts, emotion and humour. The objective of the talk is to educate and amuse. Suitable for all types of groups as we can all associate with the NHS.

I also have a talk on 'Retirement for Beginners' which contains no serious content at all. It is all about enjoying your retirement by having fun. The talk includes lots of funny stories supplemented by a series of amusing videos.

I am prepared to travel within 85 miles of my home in Huddersfield and don't charge any travel costs for the first 20 miles each way. I charge £65 speaker fee which I donate to the hospice in Huddersfield. Due to changing circumstances, I can no longer accept any evening bookings.
