The London Speaker Bureau supports the Professional Footballers' Association's statement that comedian Reginald D Hunter ignored a brief not to use inappropriate language which could cause offence during his performance at the PFA Awards.
The London Speaker Bureau has issued a statement: "The London Speaker Bureau supports the PFA's statement in that Reginald's use of language was not what was discussed as acceptable on the briefing call with the PFA.
"We regret any offence caused by the performance at The PFA Awards Ceremony."
The PFA released a statement the previous night, which read: "In a conference call with Reginald and three members of The London Speakers Bureau through which he was recruited, it was outlined the makeup of our audience would be widely diverse".
"We would like to make it clear that we feel any use of such language is wholly inappropriate.
"It was made absolutely clear that swearing or any racist references were to be avoided."
