Richard Noble OBE
Who is Richard Noble OBE?
Richard Noble is a world speed record breaker, entrepreneur and motivational business speaker.
What are Richard Noble OBE’s main achievements?
Richard’s most notable achievement is planning and developing the Thrust 2 programme, which he started with just £175. This programme birthed the vehicle which currently holds the land speed record at Black Rock Desert, Nevada.
In 1997, Richard was part of the Thrust SSC team. With a budget of just 12% of that of the McLaren Formula 1 race team, Thrust SSC went supersonic for the first time, and made two passes in this state over the mile within 60 minutes.
No other car has run supersonic and managed to steal away the title. Under Richard’s leadership, Great Britain has therefore retained the world land speed record for an outstanding 38 years.
In 2005, he established his own auction house, Hansons. Following its success, he then went on to launch Hansons London in 2018. This builded on the success of his Derbyshire auction centre.

Here are the most commonly asked questions and answers. If you can’t see your question, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.
Booking a speaker is made as straightforward as possible with Evolve. Start by browsing our website for the perfect speaker or call us directly to get a shortlist and advice. We can then get a quote on the price and ensure that the date is available. Once the deposit is received, we can put all the logistical details in place including sorting out the contract, travel accommodation etc. We will also provide a full brief to ensure that your chosen speaker meets your expectations.
The fee normally includes a keynote speech, as well as Q&A and meet and greet, but we can tailor the package to your needs and budget. Travel and accommodation for the speaker are normally charged separately but can be arranged by us.
Instead of having to approach each speaker individually, which can be challenging and time-consuming, we will take care of all of the legwork for you. The relationships that we have built up ensure that we are able to negotiate a fair price and take care of all the tricky logistical details that can otherwise cause a major headache. We ensure that a detailed contract is drawn up and are available to deal with any challenges that may occur along the way.
Each speaker has their own booking preferences. If you are looking to hire a renowned figure, we recommend booking 9-12 months before your event. If your dates are flexible, it’s often possible to arrange something on shorter notice. While we can accommodate bookings at any time, booking at least 3 months in advance ensures a smoother process and allows time to meet all your requirements.
Of course! One of our team would love to talk you through the range of speakers on our website and what they can offer to your next big event.
Simply get in touch with us over the phone or via email to discuss being added to our stable of speakers.
