Derek is the only Winston Churchill lookalike who accurately replicates Winston’s Churchill’s voice, especially when delivering Winston Churchill’s Wartime speeches. Derek has an impressive reputation as being one of the best Winston Churchill Lookalikes and never fails to impress, borne out by the excellent testimonials which he receives for his Winston Churchill performances and the reason why so many of his bookings are from personal recommendations. His attention to detail in clothing and mannerisms makes his look-alike performance highly believable.

He has appeared in small speaking roles as Winston Churchill in BBC dramas including "Hustle" & Stephen Poliakoff's "Close to the Enemy".

Derek was invited to perform as Winston Churchill at the Wyton Officers' Mess 1940s Summer Ball 2017. His performance was outstanding, professional and made the evening one of the most enjoyable events ever held in the Mess. His Battle of Britain speech was immaculate and timed perfectly for the arrival of the Spitfire display. For the remainder of the evening, he mingled with the guests, answered all their questions about the great man, and afforded everybody the opportunity to have a photograph with him. I would have no hesitation in recommending Derek for any event looking for a Churchill impersonator. A very enjoyable event made even better by Derek's performance - thank you very much - Major C Seller PMC Wyton Officers' Mess
