Rachel Coull Rachel Coull  
People might think that Rachel Coull is following in the footsteps of her celebrated father, North of Ireland man, Stuart Coull, now well known on the after dinner speaker circuit. However, Rachel is carving out a name for herself with her unique style of delivery

Rachel is a primary school teacher from Cumbernauld who teaches at Barlanark Primary. Being married with two small children she says life just couldn't be busier. Despite this, Rachel has still found time to speak at a variety of functions ranging from Dundee United FC Ladies night, through corporate events to prestigious Burns Suppers.

A refreshing, young, new addition to the after dinner circuit and a big hit wherever she performs, Rachel is a bit of a Burns expert and an up and coming comedienne.

Rachel enjoys swimming and live entertainment of all kinds. She is a domestic goddess and enjoys entertaining friends and family.

Paul Reid Paul Reid  

At 26 years of age you would think Paul Reid is fairly new to the after dinner scene, but in fact he is well into his 9th year and Carnoustie 'Lad" is fast becoming one of Scotland's youngest, hottest talents on the circuit.

Having started his after dinner career in 1998, speaking has taken him all over the country to many events. Paul is a football impressionist and portrays many of the personalities from our national game with his witty stories and hilarious voices.

Paul has starred on shows such as BBC's "Only an Excuse" with Jonathan Watson and Radio Scotland's "Off the Ball" and is a regular voice-over in radio commercials. Reid has been fortunate to speak at major events in his time such as Mark Hateley's Testimonial Weekend in Monaco, Glasgow Rangers Barca Bears Reunion Dinner, former Celtic Captain Neil Lennon's Benefit Dinner and he was also selected by the Daily Record to be guest speaker at ex Celtic player Lubomir Moravcik's Benefit Dinner.

Paul is employed by Dundee United Football Club and is in the football environment every day. Now he wishes to share his alternative side to our national game with you and your guests.
