Max Clifford in Manchester: Was he worth it?

With speculation abound today that spin guru Max Clifford received up to £10,000 for his appearence at Manchester’s Business North West event, we ask – was he worth it?
If you were at the event let us know through the comments below. The source of HowDo’s story on the subject clearly thought otherwise saying: “Nice work if you can get it”.
A spokeswoman for Business North West I contacted this morning said they couldn’t comment on the speaker’s price tag.
But, whatever the cost, was he any good? The city’s Made With and Rattle PR were at the event and asked local PR people, marketers and SME owners and managers what they thought of Britain’s best known PR guru before the fee story broke.
See their video report below and watch out for a star turn from ex-Apprentice contestant Jennifer Celerier.
