"I was delighted to invite Leke to join the Committee for President Clinton's Millennium Network Event at the Dorchester Hotel in October 2009. That event raised over £100,000 for President Clinton's Foundation and, as one of the Event Chairs, Leke played a leading role in securing that final fundraising figure. Leke continues to be one of my first port of calls. He is an exceptional source of information, ideas and contacts. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!"

He strives to fully research issues and get behind the story rather than parroting the cliches of the day. Always alert, Leke will give you what you ask of him and probably surprise you with a little extra."
