Which consultancy firm approaches David Brent as a motivational speaker?
Answer
Cooper & Webb
Answer
Cooper & Webb
Cooper & Webb is the consultancy firm that approaches David Brent about working as a motivational speaker. The offer appears in Series 2, when David is eager to believe that his talent for entertaining people can become a lucrative second career. He accepts enthusiastically and boasts about the opportunity around the Wernham Hogg office.
David's confidence is partly genuine and partly self-delusion. He sees his ability to make people laugh—or at least his belief that he can—as proof that he can inspire an audience. The storyline also reveals how easily his outside ambitions distract him from his responsibilities as branch manager.
A common mix-up is confusing Cooper & Webb with the companies and organizations connected to the show's setting. Wernham Hogg is the fictional paper merchant that employs David, Tim and Dawn. Dunder Mifflin belongs to the American adaptation, while Capital United Nations is another invented name used in the quiz options. Cooper & Webb is specifically the consultancy seeking David's motivational-speaking services.
