STEVE CUNNINGHAM

Steve Cunningham is a witty articulate passionate man who tells it how it is.  He is also totally blind, and has been from the age of twelve. Steve has never allowed his disability to define, restrict him or thwart his ambitions.  

As the holder of Blind Land Speed and Powerboat Records, Steve was also the first blind man to Fly a plane around the UK .  He has achieved these goals through a remarkable mixture of indefatigable self belief, total enthusiasm and non blinking vision.  

As a motivator he is second to none, giving a complete insight into his own personal achievements thus providing a new perspective for others, and inspiring real change and determination in their lives. The corporate market clamours for his services and clients include KPMG, Chrysler, Michelin, Royal Bank of Scotland , Lloyds TSB, EDF Energy, Orange , Co-op, Rolls Royce, Sony, Phizer, and Iris Software. They all pay testimony to his presentations full of enterprise and conviction, inspiring his audience to almost instantly respond in following his philosophy.

 Sport in general and football in particular have always been his passion, and when his aspirations of becoming a professional footballer with his beloved Aston Villa were dashed, he simply amended his dream, adjusted his talent and went on to captain the England Blind Football team, become a member of the England Blind Cricket Eleven and play to a golfing handicap of 24.

 England's Rugby team, Wasp RFC, England Cricket Team, Bolton Wanderers FC are just a sample of the sporting bodies who have used Steve in enforcing the 'together a team doctrine'.  Tributes from Sir Clive Woodward, David Beckham, Bob Monkhouse, Stephen Fry, Sam Allardyce, Sir Bobby Robson are testament to Steve's achievement and his standing among other elite professionals.  

Steve is also proud to be a successful fund raiser for numerous visually impaired charities, is a business college graduate, a former employee with Barclays Bank and the father of two beautiful daughters.
