The son of a Yorkshire coal miner, Adrian Webster
started off his colourful career as a Police Officer in St Paul's,
Bristol. He left shortly after the St Paul's riots to go 'back to
school' and ended up becoming President of Southampton Students Drama.
Fed up with being a poor student, he spent the next
four years building up a dairy company by knocking on thousands of doors
and persuading households and local shops to buy his milk. Having
established the dairy business he worked as, amongst many other things,
a radio presenter on local radio in Bristol.
To help 'fund' his career, Adrian started selling a
wide range of products, ranging from frozen food to houses. He quickly
discovered he could make real money in sales and began to take selling
seriously, the part time sales side soon took over as his full time
career.
In 1987 he moved into I.T. sales and by 1989 he had
established himself as one of the most successful sales professionals in
the industry.
After two highly successful years as Corporate Sales
Manager of US Robotics, he joined Northamber Plc an I.T. Distributor as
Group Sales and Training Manager responsible for recruiting, training,
motivating and 'driving' 150 staff to achieve phenomenal success on
shoestring budgets.
It was during this time, out of pure necessity to
inspire and retain staff, that the world of Polar Bear Pirates was born
and Adrian discovered an ability to turn teams of everyday people with
little or no ability into some of the most productive in the I.T.
industry.
Fuelled by a desire to try to gain a better
understanding of what really makes exceptional people tick he set about
researching some of the UK's most successful people. Six years of
research along with his real-life experiences, raw energy and sense of
humour combine to create a thrilling roller coaster style that is
completely original, hilariously funny and brilliantly effective.
Adrian is now a best selling business author with his
first book 'Polar Bear Pirates and their quest to reach 'Fat City' being
successfully sold worldwide.

Testimonials
Taylor Woodrow Plc
Adrian Webster was highly recommended to us as a brilliant
speaker. We were unsure of using him because we’d never heard of him. We
went ahead and used him......he was an absolute star.
HSBC
We started the year in last place. We took on board the Polar
Bear Pirates concept, used it daily to motivate ourselves/the team and
to ensure that we stayed focused. By June we were up to second and come
year-end, we finished number one. It had a huge impact on our
performance."
AXA PPP
Adrian really is one of the best keynote speakers I have ever
heard. He manages to captivate every type of audience right from the
moment he starts and always leaves them wanting more. Adrian has a
unique ability to have his audience rolling around in laughter one
minute to suddenly getting them to hang on to his every word where a pin
drop could be heard. The messages Adrian shares will stay with you for
life as they are fundamental, full of common sense and yet really make
the difference when it comes to bringing out the best in others.
Lever Faberge
The brief for a 'motivational speaker' was more than fulfilled
as Adrian’s energy, humour and superb insight into the real world of
sales had everybody mesmerised and entertained from the moment he walked
onto the stage. Life hasn't been quite the same since as we all now
aspire to permanently residing in Fat City and living as Polar Bear
Pirates!
