About slideshowpro
Every day, millions of presentations are delivered around the world.
Some inform, some persuade, some inspire action but most are simply forgotten.
At slideshowpro, we believe a great presentation should do more than fill slides. it should communicate ideas clearly, tell a compelling story and give the person delivering it the confidence
to succeed. That belief comes from more than three decades spent helping organisations sell products, train teams and communicate strategy through powerful presentations.
slideshowpro brings that experience together into one simple mission:
To help individuals and organisations create and deliver better presentations.
Led by experience
slideshowpro is run by Colin Barker (Col), a presentation specialist
with more than 30 years of experience across global retail, consumer electronics and premium furniture industries.
Throughout his career, Col has helped organisations develop the presentations, training programmes and communication tools that
support sales growth, leadership communication and exceptional
customer experiences.
He has worked with major international brands including Dixons Retail, Monster Products, Knomo London and DUX Beds & Furniture, designing presentations and training programmes used by teams around the world.
What makes slideshowpro different is that the work is not outsourced or passed through layers of designers,
every project is shaped and delivered directly by Col.
A career highlight
One of the defining moments in Col’s career was being part of the original team behind the launch of Beats by Dr Dre headphones in partnership with Monster Products.
The launch went on to redefine the global headphone market and generated more than $1 billion in sales within its first three years.
Working within this fast-moving global environment helped shape Col’s understanding of how powerful storytelling, product positioning and presentation can influence audiences and drive commercial success.
Those same principles now sit at the heart of slideshowpro.
