Serial adventurer, motivational speaker and Scouting ambassador James Ketchell will deliver an inspirational talk after the APL Awards presentation on Friday 13 March at The Brewery, London.

The annual awards ceremony, sponsored by Bradstone, will recognise and reward the pioneering landscaping carried out by APL members.

An extreme triathlete, 2014 saw James become the first and only person to have rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, successfully summit Mount Everest and cycle 18,000 miles around the world.

Seven years prior to this, he was recovering from a serious motorcycle accident that left him with broken legs as well as a severely broken and dislocated ankle.

James will talk with candour and enthusiasm about his response to that challenge and the way he has, in his words, “without doing anything special”, set about physical tasks that most of us can only imagine experiencing.
