Having worked with Speakers Trust and the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge for more than 15 years it is such a sad day that we lose such an inspirational man. Sir Jack Petchey will be missed for his generosity, encouragement, and engagement with every programme the foundation funds. The students I work with all admire the work he has initiated and always ask about Sir Jack. We will miss his presence and enthusiasm for our young people and future leaders.
