Mark Beaumont

World Record holding adventurer and TV broadcaster

Mark Beaumont has become a household name through his documentaries about ultra endurance and adventure.  Having smashed the circumnavigation cycling World Record twice in his career, he now holds this 18,000 mile title in a time of 78 days and 14 hours, averaging 240 miles a day.  His epic documentaries have taken viewers to over 100 countries, into the Arctic, the high mountains and around the Commonwealth, also surviving capsize in the mid-Atlantic.  A career like this is not possible without building dedicated teams and a business to support.

Mark is passionate about sharing his stories and is an experienced and hugely engaging keynote and after dinner speaker having worked with a number of large Corporates and completed international and national speaking tours.  Mark tailors each speech to his audiences’ needs and thrives on breaking down his blueprint for success and relating his story to clear business messages in a way that helps teams and individuals on the topics of teamwork, goal setting, leadership and motivation.  Mark’s speaking style is entertaining, but modest, humorous and inspirational.

Mark published his first book in 2009 ‘The man who cycled the world’ and is currently writing his next book about his amazing circumnavigation in less than 80 days.

Outside of sports, media and business, Mark’s interest is within education where he dedicates his pro bono work to being Rector of the University of Dundee, Honorary President of Scottish Student Sport and Patron for the Saltire Foundation.
