The company is headed up by Pushpa Kasinather.
With over 10 years experience in the after dinner speakers industry, Pushpa decided to set up her own agency in 2004 and is now bringing her experience of working with many of the leading speakers in the industry to a growing band of satisfied clients. She says:
“We provide celebrities/ speakers for many events from dinners, awards ceremonies, workshops, product launches and much more besides. Based in a small Buckinghamshire town, our business has a distinct cost-base advantage over larger London based |
competitors and this is passed onto clients in the form of more competitive prices. “Setting up 1st Choice Speakers was quite a daunting prospect to begin with, but I was determined to provide a first class service that operated on a more personal level with clients and speakers alike.”
Pushpa’s personal approach seems to have paid off as she has been asked to manage actor/singer Peter Karrie’s appearances. Peter is probably best known for playing the lead roll in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. He was twice voted the favourite phantom by the members of The International Phantom Appreciation Society.
Peter has also starred in many other hit West End shows including Les Miserables, Chess and Jesus Christ Superstar. Pushpa says: “Although Peter is still performing in various musicals he now wants to bring the West End Musical into a different era – corporate entertainment. Hence the creation of ‘An Evening With The Phantom Q/A & Performance’ whereby Peter’s love for interacting with the audience has come into fruition. 1st Choice Speakers is now his sole agent, managing and promoting Peter in his new found second career.” An Evening with the Phantom...’ is proving very popular and demand hasn’t just been limited to the UK/ Europe.
Pushpa was recently contacted by an event management company in the Far East who expressed an interest in making Peter a regular on the Malaysian celebrity appearance circuit. As indicated, Peter is just one of many celebrities that can be arranged by 1st Choice |
