Representing Barry (Baz) Gray.

After listening to our military friend Baz speak on a number of occasions, at different events, leaving us feeling inspired each time by his storytelling, we are delighted to welcome him to our speaker portfolio.

Baz is a modern-day explorer and adventurer specialising in extreme cold climates. He is currently planning the Solo Unsupported and Unassisted crossing of the Antarctic continent from Coast to Coast- a journey still yet to be completed, and if successful, will be a world first.

Barry’s Military career saw him deployed on Operational tours to Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. As a Royal Marine and Mountain Leader, he has travelled the globe including the Himalayas, Norway, European Alps, The Andes, USA, Oman, Brunei, and Antarctica to name but a few.
​
He decided to leave the Royal Marines in December 2016 after 26 years, achieving the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM).
​
Amongst his passions are polar history, especially the heroic age, and in 2013 he took part in the successful Shackleton Epic expedition in which he was part of the team that authentically re-enacted Shackleton’s 1916 escape from Elephant Island and crossing of South Georgia. One of the most remarkable Survival stories ever told and one you should hear. The journey can be seen as a three-part documentary on Discovery Channel called “Shackleton Death or Glory” OR why not contact us and book the man himself to share his story with you and your team/guests.
