Showbiz World are very pleased to be working with Duncan Bannatyne, he is one of the most successful business men in Britain today.

Estimated to be worth more than £170m, Duncan holds an OBE and was recently awarded an honorary Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) from Glasgow Caledonian University for services to business and charity.

Duncan is the founder and owner of the largest independently owned health club operator in the UK with 60 Bannatyne health clubs across Britain and with over 180,000 members. He also runs a pub business, property business and hotel business, not to mention his success on the BBC programme Dragon’s Den and his best selling autobiography 'Anyone can do it' a new book giving details of his extraordinary tale of rags to riches and showing that ... anyone can do it!

Duncan Bannatyne has made millions and through BBC's Dragons' Den inspired even more. But behind the success is a story of post-war poverty mixed with working-class ambition.

Duncan Bannatyne is for many the archetypal serial entrepreneur: a man who was born into poverty, fell behind at school and left without qualifications. Yet at 30 he decided to change his life. His business career started with the purchase of a second hand ice cream van for £450 and has culminated in the last few months with the purchase of Livingwell heath clubs for a cool £98 million. But Bannatyne is best known for his inimitable one-liners on Dragons' Den. He consistently says that far from having exceptional talents, "anyone can do it" - and it is the phrase that sits on his best selling autobiography.

He is open and happy to talk about his life, his success, his failures and about how he once sat on a beach all those years ago and decided - just like that - to become a millionaire.

An amazing after dinner speaker and good guy who will just leave any guest or audience inspired.
