About the speaker Steve Cram
British middle distance running could not believe its luck when, in a majestic-striding youngster from the northeast, it found a “third man” to eclipse Seb Coe and Steve Ovett. When Steve Cram was in full cry – during his demolition of Ovett’s and Coe’s world records in 1985 – one commentator likened it to “watching a Greek god on the track”.

For five seasons between 1982 and 1986, he enjoyed a dazzling spell of competitive success which neither Coe or Ovett ever matched, winning a world, two European and three Commonwealth gold medals. Short of full fitness, he had to settle for silver behind Coe in the Los Angeles Olympics 1,500m final, but he bounced back with three world records in 19 days the following year – including history’s first sub-three-and-half minute metric mile. Steve is now the main athletics presenter for the BBC.

Greg Dyke video: ‘Our failing democracy – will the coalition last long enough to save it?’


Our latest event from the ‘in just 60 minutes’ series featured guest speaker Greg Dyke discussing ‘Our failing democracy – will the coalition last long enough to save it?’ The video above includes footage from this successful event.

In his four years as Director-General of the BBC, Greg Dyke started four new digital television channels, five new digital radio channels, opened two new BBC regions, launched the BBC’s interactive television services and helped create Freeview. Greg reversed the trend at the BBC, which took employees away from making programmes and made them into managers. In doing so he reduced administration costs dramatically from 24% of total income to 15%. In 2005 he became chairman of HIT and in 2006 he became chairman of Brentford Football Club.

Greg Dyke ‘In just 60 minutes!’

In conjunction with Reeves, TAL and TheFrameworks, EC Group is pleased to announce the next ‘In just 60 minutes event!’ with Greg Dyke.
