What Clients, Leaders and Organisations Say

Daisy Densham

“We had the pleasure of hosting Pervez for an online session with our community, and his talk was genuinely moving and impactful.

Pervez shared his story with honesty, warmth and empathy, and it resonated on a very human level. His perspective on resilience, mindset and overcoming challenges was incredibly powerful, and it was clear how much care and effort he put into delivering the session.

Even in a virtual setting, Pervez created a strong connection and held space beautifully for reflection and emotion. His talk stayed with us long after it ended, and we’re very grateful to him for sharing his experience so openly.
We would highly recommend Pervez to any organisation looking for a speaker who brings authenticity, inspiration and real impact.”

Very good session online the men enjoyed it and looking at them, they were all engaged the whole time. Considering these men have a lot of neurodiverse issues they sat and listened till the end. One man said ‘it shows whatever happens you can still be rich Another man said ‘that guy faced a lot of barriers and yet is still here and achieved a lot Another one said ‘he didn’t have education like me but he still done something forhimself. So there was many positive comments after! I appreciate you taking your time to talk with us and share your story.

Thank you!

Chief Constable – West Mercia Police

“I first met Pervez at a Unison meeting in late 2003, shortly after I became the Chief Constable of West Mercia Police. In his own inimitable style, he asked me a number of searching and highly relevant questions in an open forum — challenging yet refreshing.

As I got to know him better, I was impressed by his preparedness to raise issues with myself and other senior managers in a non-confrontational yet very effective way. This led me to invite him to become a staff representative on the Strategic Diversity Group which I chaired.

Pervez was instrumental in securing funding to make West Mercia Police more accessible for staff with disabilities and was the founder and Chair of the Force’s Disability Network. He gave an inspiring keynote address at its official launch and continued to serve with distinction, never allowing his own disability to limit his contribution.

Moving beyond his comfort zone, he became a Diversity Trainer and later a Management Development Trainer. His naturally warm personality and perceptive insights consistently made time spent in his presence worthwhile and enriching.

It was fitting that his dedication and selfless approach were recognised in 2012 when he received the Force’s Quality People Award for Outstanding Contribution to West Mercia Police.

Pervez’s positivity in the face of major personal setbacks has inspired many people, including myself. This new venture will no doubt enable him to inspire many more in the future.”

Royal National College for the Blind

“Pervez kindly agreed to be our guest speaker at the annual Celebration of Achievement for the Royal National College for the Blind. He delivered a remarkable motivational speech of ideal length, engaging students, parents, supporters, and friends of the college from the outset.

The speech had a clear structure and conveyed highly relevant messages rooted in Pervez’s experience, making it authentic and sincere. His use of humour was highly effective without detracting from the important points he was making.

There was a great deal of positive feedback following the event, and students queued to speak with Pervez afterwards. We felt fortunate to have someone who spoke with meaning and empathy to our invited guests and students.”
