The Blue Light Speakers Agency – for inspirational public sector speakers – has been launched today (Monday 3rd March), providing an illustrious range of prominent blue light leaders covering critical issues.
The Blue Light Speakers Agency (BLSA) provides a diverse range of eminent speakers from across the blue light services. With a mission to provide high quality, knowledgeable and experienced blue light personnel with the platform to communicate important, inspirational messages to a wider audience, the agency is the first of its kind.
Speaking about what the BLSA brings to the table, featured speaker Mark Hardingham CBE QFSM, Chair of the National Fire Chiefs Council, said: “Those who spend their careers in public service, and especially the blue light services, have many years of experience in front line emergency response, crisis management, senior leadership, partnership working, 24/7 media spotlight, organisational culture and political acuity to name just a few attributes.
“This blue light speaker platform provides a great opportunity for that knowledge, insight, experience and the many stories to be shared far beyond the three blue lights and for the benefit, learning and, I’m sure, enjoyment of others.”
The newly launched agency has a broad range of speakers from across the blue light and related services featuring national and international leads on resilience, search and rescue, crisis management, cultural change and leadership. The agency is appealing for inspirational leaders and personnel to register to broaden the inspirational offering.
Another of the featured speakers, Bernie Higgins, Chair of the Fire and Rescue Equipment Suppliers Council of the Fire Industry Association, said:
“The Blue Light Speakers Agency connects event organisers with the most inspirational and high-performing speakers from the frontline of emergency services, law enforcement, and disaster response. These exceptional professionals – leaders in resilience, crisis management, and high-pressure decision-making – bring first-hand experience, powerful storytelling, and actionable insights to captivate and motivate any audience.
“Covering a broad range in expertise including communications, personal protective equipment, policy, and planning, Blue Light Speakers Agency can offer unique perspectives on the challenges and innovations shaping frontline services. Whether you’re looking to inspire leadership, enhance teamwork, or instil a culture of courage and adaptability, Blue Light Speakers Agency delivers compelling, real-world lessons that leave a lasting impact.”
Chief Executive and Founder, Andrew Ledgerton-Lynch OBE, said:
“Our objective is simply to inspire: inspire blue light leaders to share their experience and knowledge, which in turn inspires others with their often life-changing insights.”
Andrew, who has been Editor of FIRE magazine for 25 years, added: “Over the years I’ve been inspired by many of the speakers featured on the Blue Light Speakers Agency, and I would like others to be similarly captivated and elevated.”
