New Voices, Big Ideas: Speakers You Need to Know
Here at Papillon Speakers, we'd like to share with you, a select group of incredibly inspiring Speakers with whom we have recently started collaborating - each bringing distinctive stories and powerful relevance for organisations today.
THE MACLEAN BROTHERS
We’re thrilled to be working with The Maclean brothers. Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan Maclean have rowed two oceans, broken world records and raised over £1 million for clean water - but the real stories happened between the waves: the 3 a.m. hallucinations, storms that tested everything and moments of complete silence in the middle of the Pacific, setting a world record by rowing 9,000 miles non‑stop and unsupported from South America to Australia.
In their talks, they bring these experiences to life, sharing what it truly takes to row 12,000 miles across two oceans: the preparation, psychology, teamwork and lessons that extend far beyond a boat. From resilience and leadership to what happens when three brothers are stuck together for 139 days, their story inspires and captivates every audience.

DUNCAN COVEY
We're delighted to be representing Duncan Covey. Duncan is an adventurer and endurance cyclist perhaps best known for cycling around the world solo, a life changing adventure that saw him facing unimaginable challenges from being extorted at gunpoint by the mafia in Eastern Europe, to escaping criminals from a locked compound in the Uzbek desert, to surviving cyclones and bone-breaking crashes - a showreel of worst case scenarios. Trusted by tens of thousands on social media to share an authentic glimpse of life on the road, Duncan shares his extraordinary stories with messages of resilience, problem‑solving under pressure and personal growth. He opens up with honesty, humour and humility, connecting his adventures to real‑world insights for performance and wellbeing. Earlier this year Duncan set out on a major bikepacking adventure across Australia’s Nullarbor Plain with a pair of golf clubs strapped to his bike to take on the Nullarbor Links, the longest golf course in the world.
