“ING used Perry extensively during our inaugural year as a Formula One sponsor to help provide an insight for both our media guests and key clients.

Perry's natural blend of knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm, coupled with humour and an engaging style enabled him to put complex subjects across easily and succinctly to a non-expert audience. He was a popular hit with clients and media, whether public speaking to large groups, or giving technical explanations on a one-on-one basis.

Perry was subsequently adopted by other business areas within the ING group, such as ING Life Insurance Russia and ING Real Estate in Holland, to successfully promote individual events and campaigns.”

He really understood and cared about what the programme aimed to achieve and he employed enthusiasm and professionalism throughout.

“Perry came along and gave a lively talk on his experiences, both as an F1 driver and as the Stig. More importantly he talked to them about safety issues surrounding young drivers.

At Chelmsford College we have a large construction department in which many students fall into the 16 -19 age group. Perry proved very entertaining and the students bombarded him with questions throughout. He also brought along copies of his book and presented them to students, nominated by lecturers, for outstanding achievement.

Perry’s visit was extremely useful to us, as lecturers. We constantly strive to find topics and people which engage our students and really interest them. We hit on a winner with Perry and look forward to seeing him again in the future.”

“Perry visited the Thames Valley Police driving school but the idea needed to be run past our senior officers at HQ. It was only when I started asking people did I fully understand the 'Stig Effect'.

I had made some prior plans to try and give him a varied look at our training and methods. The first day was spent with me whilst I trained two students in the fine art of high speed road driving to the 'Police System'. Perry was an interested spectator who raised some very valid points with both the students and myself. The following morning was at our airfield facility at Upper Heyford. He experienced the fine art of J turning, a tactic we were teaching to a group of officers from our Royal Protection Unit. The final exercise was a timed run through our track based roadway, we all had a go, students, instructors and of course The Stig. Needless to say Perry turned in an unbeatable time.

The following morning I left Perry with one of our Roads Policing Officers, a chance for him to see what we teach put into practise. To sum up his time with us, I saw his friendly outgoing nature pull in everyone he came into contact with, a nice bloke with exceptional car handling skill and what I suspect is rare in a race driver: a real commitment to road safety, he genuinely wants everyone to be a great driver.”

“Thanks Perry: like all good men, you rose to the occasion on the night! A spot-on speech, beautifully crafted with just the right amount of humour. Not only did an international audience welcome having you there as 'anchor-man', but our client appreciated the way you understood the message they wanted to deliver, and integrated this with top audience entertainment. And from our point of view, you were a (diamond) pleasure to work with.”

“Those that have seen him race know he is F1 material. His hunger is as great as Senna and Mansell’s.

F1 needs Perry as much as Perry needs F1.”
