Introducing…
Danielle Brown
Double Paralympic archery gold medallist Danielle Brown has proven that disability is no barrier to achieving whatever you wish. The first athlete to also represent England in an able-bodied discipline, Danielle’s drive and determination to succeed is exemplary. A wonderful Olympic speaker, Danielle enjoys all challenges in life and delivers invaluable advice to both business and social environments to ensure listeners achieve all they can.
Danielle’s versatility and experience make her one of the most desirable personalities on the after dinner speaker circuit. Ranked World No.1 for her entire career, Danielle has faultlessly performed year on year. A three time World Champion, Danielle has also won gold at the Delhi Commonwealth Games of 2010 in an able bodied discipline, showing her skill and focus is enough to beat even the best able-bodied athletes.
