Motivation and Inspiration

Why organisations work with Rosie and Mollie Kmita They host with the fluency of working broadcasters. Both co-front Sky Sports’ Barclays Women’s Championship Show and the Broadcast Award-winning show The Dub, and bring the same standard to corporate stages, awards nights, and panels. They built The Powerhouse Project from inside the game. Not a sponsorship vehicle. A working leadership pipeline that has supported more than 60 women through the UEFA B Prep Programme since 2022, with Nike, the FA, and Google Pixel as operating partners. They speak credibly on representation because they are the data point. Rosie’s career as a British Asian professional footballer makes their advocacy specific rather than general. They convert lived industry experience into actionable talking points for HR, ED&I, and brand audiences who are tired of generic diversity content. Biography highlights Co-founders of The Powerhouse Project, a women’s leadership initiative in football and sports media, partnered with Nike, The FA, Football Beyond Borders, and Google Pixel Co-hosts of Sky Sports’ Barclays Women’s Championship Show Hosts of The Dub, the Sky Sports and Snapchat show that won a Broadcast Award Former professional footballers with playing time at Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Brighton and Hove Albion, and others Regular contributors to Soccer AM, BBC One’s MOTDx, and Sky Sports News’ The Football Show Brand work with Nike, Google Pixel, FIFA, Pepsi, Expedia, Snapchat, SoccerX Biography Women’s football has changed faster in the last five years than in the previous fifty. The pipeline behind it has not kept pace. Coaching qualifications, broadcast access, media production roles, and senior executive routes remain structurally narrow, particularly for women from ethnically diverse backgrounds. The Kmita twins built The Powerhouse Project to widen that pipeline from inside the industry. Rosie and Mollie grew up in north London and played professionally at Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Brighton and Hove Albion, and other clubs across the women’s pyramid. Rosie was one of two existing players retained when West Ham received their FA Women’s Super League franchise in 2018. Both retired into broadcasting and now co-host Sky Sports’ Barclays Women’s Championship Show and The Dub, the Sky Sports and Snapchat show that took a Broadcast Award. The Powerhouse Project, launched in 2021, is the substantive work. The UEFA B Prep Programme run with the FA and Nike has supported more than 60 women coaches since 2022. The Pixel FC Academy, run with Google, develops young women into sports media careers across broadcast, production, and written press. The partners are operating partners, not logo sponsors, and the cohort numbers grow each year. For corporate audiences they bring two things at once. Hosting craft built on national broadcast experience, and a substantive, working point of view on representation, female leadership, and how to actually move people through an industry pipeline rather than just talk about it. Key speaking topics Women’s leadership in sport and media Representation and ethnically diverse pathways in male-coded industries Building leadership pipelines through programme partnerships Female empowerment and career progression Awards hosting, panel moderation, and event facilitation Broadcasting and on-camera presence Ideal for ED&I, HR, and people leaders building representation pipelines beyond awareness campaigns Brand and marketing teams designing women’s sport and youth-facing activations Conference organisers needing a host or moderator with broadcast fluency on women’s leadership and sport panels Internal women’s network events and ERG showcases Audience outcomes A clearer view of what an operating leadership pipeline looks like compared to a sponsorship-led ED&I programme Direct industry perspective on the barriers women from ethnically diverse backgrounds face in sport and media, and what removes them A worked example of building an external initiative alongside a primary career Energy and craft on stage from two practitioners who host professionally for a living

Why organisations work with Sophie Morgan A founder credential rather than a commentator one. Morgan built Rights On Flights into the Assisted Air Travel Act, presented at the House of Commons in September 2023, after airline mishandling destroyed her wheelchair. Operator-grade media reach. Nearly a decade as a Channel 4 lead Paralympics presenter, NBC Paralympics host, Loose Women regular, and Conde Nast Traveller columnist gives her the platform to test what inclusion language actually lands. A production-company perspective on representation. Through Making Space Media, her first-look deal with Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, she sits inside the commercial machinery of disability storytelling rather than commenting on it. A presenter who can host the room, not only speak from a lectern. Awards hosting, panel chairing and on-stage interview work are part of her core offer, useful when the brief is to run an event rather than fill a keynote slot. Biography highlights Lead presenter on Channel 4’s coverage of the Summer Paralympic Games for nearly a decade; presenter on NBC’s US Paralympics coverage. Author of Driving Forwards (Sphere/Little, Brown, 2022), a memoir on life after spinal cord injury. Founder of the Rights On Flights campaign; the Assisted Air Travel Act was presented at the House of Commons in September 2023. Co-founder of Making Space Media with Keely Cat-Wells, with a first-look unscripted deal with Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine. Regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women; presenter of Living Wild, Fight to Fly, and Crufts; contributor to BBC Horizon, The One Show and Channel 4’s No Go Britain. Patron of Scope, Back Up and Human Rights Watch; voted into the UK’s Top 10 most influential people with a disability three years running. Biography A wheelchair was destroyed on a BA flight from Los Angeles to London in January 2023. The passenger was Sophie Morgan. Within weeks she had turned that single incident into Rights On Flights, the campaign that produced the Assisted Air Travel Act, presented at the House of Commons in September 2023 alongside MPs, airline industry figures and a White House delegation. That sequence, personal injury to legislative draft, is the pattern of her work. Morgan was paralysed from the chest down in a car crash at eighteen and has spent the years since translating private experience into public infrastructure. She is one of a small number of presenters with a physical disability working at broadcaster scale: lead presenter on Channel 4’s Summer Paralympics coverage for nearly a decade, NBC’s US Paralympics host, regular Loose Women panellist, and front of Channel 4 series including Living Wild and Fight to Fly. Her 2022 memoir Driving Forwards (Sphere/Little, Brown) sets out the argument that runs through her advocacy: the goal is not to overcome disability but to design environments in which disabled people can live well. The same argument shapes Making Space Media, the disabled-led production company she co-founded with Keely Cat-Wells in 2023, which holds a first-look unscripted deal with Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine and is building a talent pipeline on both sides of the camera. For organisations, the value is sharper than awareness. Morgan brings a working knowledge of where inclusion policy fails on contact with a real customer, employee or passenger, and a track record of forcing the response to be specific. She is a patron of Scope, Back Up and Human Rights Watch, and a Conde Nast Traveller columnist on accessible travel. Key speaking topics Disability inclusion and accessibility in the workplace Authentic representation of disabled people in media and brand Accessible travel and consumer experience Resilience after life-changing injury Campaigning, advocacy and policy change Inclusive event design and audience access Ideal for CHROs and DEI leads designing accessibility into hiring, retention and physical workplace CMOs, brand and customer experience leaders responsible for disabled customers and audiences Travel, hospitality, aviation and live events businesses with disabled customer touchpoints Conference and awards organisers seeking a host with on-screen credibility and inclusion fluency Audience outcomes A sharper sense of where inclusion policy and lived accessibility diverge in their own organisation Concrete examples of how disabled customers and employees experience services, drawn from broadcast, travel and consumer brand contexts A working understanding of how the Rights On Flights campaign turned a single incident into policy, and what that model implies for corporate accountability Renewed confidence to commission, hire and represent disabled talent inside their own commercial pipeline

Why organisations work with Sheree Murphy Two decades of live television presenting, including BBC One’s Yes Chef!, BBC Morning Live, ITV2’s British Soap Awards coverage and I’m A Celebrity spin-offs, translates into a host who controls a room without rehearsal. Public recognition as Tricia Dingle in Emmerdale, paired with a runner-up finish on I’m A Celebrity in 2005, gives organisers a name audiences already know and trust on stage. A natural fit for consumer, family, food and lifestyle brand events. Direct campaign work with Pampers, Cow and Gate, Hello Fresh, Birdseye and SMA Nutrition gives her credibility with these audiences before she opens the microphone. Comfortable across formats: awards hosting, panel moderation, after-dinner Q and A, in-conversation interviews and on-camera reporting. Biography highlights Played Tricia Dingle in ITV’s Emmerdale across 374 episodes (1998 to 2004); won the British Soap Award for Best Exit in 2004. Runner-up on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! (2005). Current presenter on BBC’s Morning Live; previously hosted BBC One’s Yes Chef! across 40 episodes. Hosted ITV’s British Soap Awards in 2015 and 2016; presented ITV2’s Soap Awards coverage in 2005 and 2006. Co-hosted the Sunday morning show on Hits Radio for six years. Recurring panellist on ITV’s Loose Women and finalist on Celebrity MasterChef (2015). Biography A weak host can wreck an awards night. The skill of standing on a corporate stage, holding a room of 800 people, running to time and making a sponsor feel looked after is craft, built over years of live broadcasting. Sheree Murphy has been doing it on UK television for more than two decades. She is best known to British audiences as Tricia Dingle in ITV’s Emmerdale, a role she played across 374 episodes between 1998 and 2004 and which won her the British Soap Award for Best Exit. Her runner-up finish on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! in 2005 moved her into mainstream presenting, with ITV2’s British Soap Awards coverage, the Soapstar Superstar spin-off and a long run as a Loose Women panellist. The presenting work has continued steadily since. She fronted BBC One’s Yes Chef! across forty episodes, co-hosted Channel 5’s Cowboy Builders, anchored Hits Radio’s Sunday morning show for six years and now reports for BBC’s Morning Live. Off-screen, her commercial work with Pampers, Cow and Gate, Hello Fresh, Birdseye and SMA Nutrition places her squarely in the consumer, family and lifestyle space. For organisers, that combination matters. She is a recognisable face, a working broadcaster and a host who can run an awards ceremony, moderate a panel or carry an in-conversation interview without needing the room to do the work for her. Key speaking topics Awards ceremony hosting Conference and corporate event MC Panel moderation and in-conversation interviews After-dinner hosting Consumer, family and lifestyle brand events Parenting, family nutrition and working motherhood Ideal for Marketing, brand and communications leads commissioning awards nights, brand launches and consumer events. Internal events teams running conferences that need a recognisable, broadcast-trained MC. Family, food, parenting and lifestyle brands seeking a host with direct campaign credibility in the category. Internal women’s networks or family-friendly employer events looking for an in-conversation guest on balancing a high-profile career with raising four children. Audience outcomes A live event run cleanly to time, with a host who manages the room rather than reading from it. Sponsors, winners and panellists handled with the warmth and timing of a working broadcaster. A recognisable on-stage presence that draws audiences and attracts press coverage for consumer-facing events. For panel and in-conversation formats: honest, accessible reflections on twenty-plus years in UK broadcasting and on raising a family alongside it.

Why organisations work with Sarah-Jane Mee Live broadcast credibility. She anchors The UK Tonight on Sky News and previously fronted Sunrise as its first female lead anchor, so she handles unscripted moments, tight cues and difficult interviews on stage the way she does on air. A working journalist’s instinct for the room. She can move from a CEO Q&A to an awards run-of-show to a charity appeal without the register slipping, and without the energy dropping. Genuine fluency across business and sport. A career spanning Sky News political and current-affairs programming and Sky Sports flagship coverage means she is a credible host for events that blend commercial, sporting and women-in-sport themes. A track record with serious clients. Named hosting work for Google, Amnesty International, the League Managers’ Association, Chance to Shine, the Inspirational Women Awards and the Boodles Tennis Tournament. A named platform for women’s sport. She presents the Sunday Times and Sky Sportswomen of the Year Awards, which gives her a specific public position on women in sport that few hosts can claim. Biography highlights Anchor, The UK Tonight with Sarah-Jane Mee, Sky News (from October 2023). First female lead anchor of Sky News Sunrise (2016 to 2019). Host, The Sarah-Jane Mee Show, Sky News (2019 to 2023). Long-running Sky Sports presenter across UEFA Champions League, Cricket AM, Saturday Night Football and Sky Sports News. Presenter, Sunday Times and Sky Sportswomen of the Year Awards. Corporate and awards host for Google, Amnesty International, the League Managers’ Association, Chance to Shine, the Inspirational Women Awards and the Boodles Tennis Tournament. Biography The UK Tonight launched on Sky News in October 2023 as the channel’s primetime evening hour for interviews, original journalism and live debate. Sarah-Jane Mee is its anchor. Before that she was the first female lead anchor of Sunrise, Sky News’ flagship breakfast programme, from 2016 to 2019, and then fronted her own weekday afternoon show until 2023. Her career sits across two specialisms that rarely combine in one presenter. On the news side, she has covered general elections, breaking stories and major terror events live. On sport, she has anchored Sky Sports flagship Premier League and Champions League programming, fronted Cricket AM, and presents the Sunday Times and Sky Sportswomen of the Year Awards live on Sky Sports. That is a useful pairing for any client whose event mixes commercial content with sport, sponsorship, or women’s sport in particular. Off-air, she is one of the UK’s busier corporate hosts. Named hosting and moderating work includes Google, Amnesty International, the League Managers’ Association and Chance to Shine, alongside the Inspirational Women Awards and the Boodles Tennis Tournament. Clients book her for awards nights, charity dinners, Q&A formats, panel chairing and conference facilitation. The proposition is straightforward. Where an event needs a host who can read a room, hold a serious interview on stage, and keep an audience with her through a packed agenda, she is a safe pair of hands with a current Sky News platform behind her. Key speaking topics Live event hosting and conference facilitation Awards presenting and ceremony hosting Panel moderation and on-stage interviews Current affairs and broadcast journalism Women in sport and women in business Sport, broadcasting and the media industry Ideal for Awards ceremonies and recognition events, particularly those involving women in sport, women in business or charity partners. Corporate conferences and town halls requiring a host who can chair CEO interviews and panel discussions on commercial and current-affairs topics. Charity dinners, fundraising events and Q&A formats where a recognisable, trusted broadcaster is needed to carry the evening. Sports industry dinners, sponsor activations and league events where credibility with players, managers and rights-holders matters. Audience outcomes A live event that runs to time, holds its energy and stays in control of its on-stage moments. Interviews and panels with sharper questions, better follow-ups and more usable content for post-event communications. A credible host voice for women-in-sport and women-in-business themes that does not feel performative. A serious broadcast journalist’s framing for business, current affairs and policy conversations, suitable for senior internal and external audiences.

Why organisations work with Ryan Thomas Recognition that opens a room. Sixteen years on Coronation Street, a Celebrity Big Brother win and a Dancing on Ice title give Thomas an audience-warmth most corporate hosts cannot manufacture. A credible voice on men’s mental health. His sustained work with CALM, including the ten-marathons-in-ten-days fundraiser, places him in the small group of UK television figures who speak about suicide prevention with substance. Hosting craft built on live television. Awards, gala dinners, internal recognition events and panel facilitation are his primary booking categories, and he can move between scripted hosting and unscripted audience interaction without losing pace. Cross-generational reach inside a UK workforce. Coronation Street and reality-format wins give him recognition across age brackets that a single-demographic celebrity rarely matches. Biography highlights Played Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street from 2000 to 2016, returning to the role in 2025 Winner of Celebrity Big Brother (2018) and ITV’s Dancing on Ice (2024) Ambassador for CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably, a UK suicide prevention charity Walked ten marathons in ten days in 2021 to fundraise for CALM Co-host of the Mancs on the Mic podcast with brothers Adam and Scott Thomas Appeared on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls (2017) and Celebrity MasterChef (2022) Biography Men’s mental health remains one of the most stubborn challenges inside UK organisations. Suicide is still the largest cause of death for men under fifty in the country, and the workforce demographics most affected, men in trade, sales, operations and middle management, are the hardest to reach with formal wellbeing programmes. CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably, works directly on that audience, and Ryan Thomas has been one of its most visible ambassadors. Thomas reached that audience through television, not through advocacy. He played Jason Grimshaw on Coronation Street for sixteen years, then won Celebrity Big Brother in 2018 and Dancing on Ice in 2024. The Coronation Street audience is the same demographic CALM is trying to reach, and his standing inside it gives him a credibility on the subject that policy-led speakers cannot easily replicate. In 2021 he walked ten marathons in ten days for the charity, a fundraising effort that reframed his public profile from soap actor to active campaigner. He co-hosts the Mancs on the Mic podcast with his brothers Adam and Scott, which has built a parallel audience inside the same demographic. For corporate clients, Thomas is most commonly booked as a host, awards presenter or after-dinner speaker, with the mental health content available as a substantive secondary anchor when the brief calls for it. Buyers commission him because the room recognises him before he opens his mouth, and because he can carry a conversation about suicide prevention without flattening it. Key speaking topics Men’s mental health and suicide prevention CALM advocacy and the male workplace Event hosting, awards presenting and MC work Resilience and reinvention in a public career Television, reality formats and public profile Brotherhood, family and the Mancs on the Mic podcast Ideal for Internal recognition events, awards dinners and conference plenaries seeking a recognised UK host HR, wellbeing and EAP leads commissioning men’s mental health content for predominantly male workforces Charity galas and fundraising events with a CALM, suicide prevention or men’s health angle Sales, trade and operations audiences where a soap-and-reality television profile lands harder than a policy speaker Audience outcomes A live conversation about men’s mental health that lands with audiences usually closed to the subject Permission to talk about suicide prevention at work, anchored by a recognisable advocate A confident, paced host or MC presence across awards, recognition and gala formats A first-hand account of the CALM ten marathons fundraiser and what motivated it

Why organisations work with Ronan Keating Three decades of live performance with Boyzone and as a solo artist means he reads a room the way most hosts cannot. Pace, energy, and recovery when something goes wrong are instinctive. Seven years anchoring the Magic Radio Breakfast Show built the daily-broadcast discipline that translates directly to live hosting: clean links, real listening, no dead air. Genuine philanthropic record through the Marie Keating Foundation gives charity galas and health-sector events a host whose endorsement of the cause is not performative. Cross-generational name recognition. A 25-million-record catalogue with Boyzone and a 20-million-record solo career means the audience is on his side before he speaks. Optional live performance slot inside the same booking, which is rare among hosts at this level. Biography highlights Co-lead singer of Boyzone since 1993; over 25 million records sold worldwide; six UK number-one singles. Solo recording artist since 1999; over 20 million solo records sold; multiple number-one albums in the UK and Ireland. Magic Radio Breakfast Show host with Harriet Scott, 2017 to 2024. Regular presenter on BBC One’s The One Show. Coach and judge on The Voice Kids UK alongside will.i.am, Pixie Lott and Danny Jones. Co-founder and patron of the Marie Keating Foundation; honorary degree from The Open University for charity work. Biography Boyzone formed in 1993 and went on to sell more than 25 million records and place six singles at number one in the UK. Ronan Keating was the group’s co-lead voice from the start. That position, sustained across thirty years of touring, is the foundation of his stage craft. The solo career followed in 1999. “When You Say Nothing At All” in Notting Hill turned a UK pop singer into a recognisable face across Europe, Asia and Australia. Twenty million solo records and multiple number-one albums followed. Broadcasting matured the performer into a presenter. From 2017 to 2024 he co-hosted the Magic Radio Breakfast Show, a daily three-hour live broadcast that demands the unglamorous fundamentals of hosting: clean transitions, real curiosity, recovery from mistakes in real time. He remains a regular presenter on BBC One’s The One Show and has served as a coach on The Voice Kids UK. The Marie Keating Foundation, set up with his family in 1998 after his mother’s death from breast cancer, is now one of Ireland’s largest cancer charities and partners with Cancer Research UK. The Open University awarded him an honorary degree in 2023 for twenty-five years of philanthropic work. That record is why charity galas and health-sector events book him as a host whose presence carries weight beyond the celebrity name. Key speaking topics Awards and gala hosting Corporate event hosting and moderation Charity and fundraising events Live music performance for corporate audiences Cancer awareness and philanthropy Health and wellbeing advocacy Ideal for Corporate awards ceremonies and annual gala dinners Charity fundraising events, particularly in health and cancer care Brand and customer hospitality events with cross-generational audiences Conference closing entertainment and after-dinner programmes Audience outcomes A polished, professionally paced event from arrival to close A host who can move between scripted award announcements, live interviews, and unscripted moments without losing the room Optional live musical performance inside the same engagement Authentic association with the Marie Keating Foundation when the cause is health or cancer related A high-recognition name that lifts ticket sales and table take-up for charity formats

Why organisations work with Lizzie Daly She brings working scientist credentials, not commentator credentials. Her PhD research at Swansea University tracks animal movement with tag technology, including fieldwork on African elephants in Kenya and a male jaguar in the Pantanal. She has the broadcast craft to land a sustainability message with a non-specialist audience, with on-screen credits across BBC One, BBC Two, CBeebies, CBBC, National Geographic, Animal Planet and Love Nature. Conservation organisations trust her platform: ambassador for the Marine Conservation Society and the Jane Goodall Institute UK, and the first female patron of ORCA. She has a track record of hosting and moderating high-stakes industry moments, including the Wildscreen Panda Awards in 2018 and 2022 and over 50 hours of live content during Wildscreen 2020. Her expedition record, including a 140km solo run in the Finnish Arctic Circle at minus 35C, gives a credible second register on resilience and decision-making in extreme environments. Biography highlights Honorary Fellow of Swansea University and part-time PhD researcher there, with a research focus on animal movement through tag technology. Academic Teaching and Outreach Fellow at Swansea University. Undergraduate degree from the University of Exeter; research Masters from the University of Bristol. Author of Life in the Wild (DK, 2024), a children’s wildlife book illustrated by Chiara Fedele. Presenter credits include Weatherman Walking (BBC One), Curious Creatures (BBC Two), Winterwatch (BBC Two), The One Show (BBC One), Solved: Nature’s Greatest Mysteries (Animal Planet), Jaguar Journals (Love Nature) and Deep Dive Australia (Love Nature). Hosted the Wildscreen Panda Awards in 2018 and 2022, and live-hosted the Wildscreen festival in 2020. Ambassador for the Marine Conservation Society and the Jane Goodall Institute UK, first female patron of ORCA, and ambassador for the Norwich Science Festival. Biography A barrel jellyfish the size of a human, filmed off the Cornish coast during Wild Ocean Week 2019, became one of the most-shared marine wildlife clips on the BBC that summer. The biologist in the water was Lizzie Daly, then mid-way through a seven-day expedition raising funds for the Marine Conservation Society. The clip travelled because the science was real and the storytelling was clean. Both qualities define how she now works with organisations on sustainability and conservation. Her academic base is Swansea University, where she is a part-time PhD researcher studying wildlife movement with tag technology and an Academic Teaching and Outreach Fellow. The fieldwork is specific and physical: deploying tracking tags on African elephants in Kenya, on a male jaguar in the Pantanal, and joining a 2022 scientific expedition to the Peruvian Amazon. Swansea has since named her an Honorary Fellow. The broadcasting CV runs in parallel. Recent series include Jaguar Journals and Deep Dive Australia for Love Nature, alongside earlier credits on BBC One, BBC Two, CBeebies, CBBC, National Geographic and Animal Planet. She has hosted the Wildscreen Panda Awards twice, in 2018 with Lewis Pugh and in 2022 with Dan O’Neill, and live-hosted more than 50 hours of Wildscreen festival content in 2020. For a corporate audience, this combination matters. A sustainability or ESG narrative that has to survive scrutiny needs a voice with field credibility, scientific training, and the storytelling judgement to keep a non-specialist audience with the argument. In September 2024 she published Life in the Wild with DK, a children’s title built on the same instinct: real animals, real movement data, told without hype. Key speaking topics Sustainability and environmental responsibility Marine conservation and ocean health Wildlife biology and animal movement science Climate communication for non-specialist audiences Conservation storytelling and public engagement Resilience and performance in extreme environments Hosting and moderation of awards, conferences and live formats Ideal for Chief sustainability officers, ESG leads and corporate affairs teams shaping external sustainability narratives. Boards and leadership offsites adding scientific credibility to climate, ocean and biodiversity discussions. Conference and awards organisers who need a host who can carry a science-led programme on stage. Internal events focused on purpose, employee engagement and connecting people to environmental commitments. Audience outcomes A clearer sense of what current wildlife and ocean science actually shows, beyond headline narratives. Practical reference points for talking about sustainability with employees, customers and stakeholders without resorting to slogans. A vivid set of field stories, from Arctic expeditions to jaguar tracking, that audiences can recall and retell. Renewed conviction about the role organisations can play in marine and wildlife conservation, grounded in named partner organisations.

Why organisations work with Michaela Strachan Recognised across forty years of British television, from 1980s Saturday morning audiences to current Springwatch viewers and the 2025 Dancing on Ice final. That cross-generational recognition is unusual for a single broadcaster. Decades of on-location wildlife filming with named conservation organisations including SANCCOB in South Africa, the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The specialism is built from fieldwork. BAFTA Best Children’s Presenter (2005) for Michaela’s Wild Challenge, with co-presenter status on BBC’s flagship Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch since 2011 alongside Chris Packham. Live performance pedigree across formats most television presenters never touch. BBC live broadcasts, the 2018 Walking with Dinosaurs arena tour, and the 2025 Dancing on Ice final as the oldest contestant in show history. A genuine personal story for resilience and wellbeing briefs as a Breast Cancer Now ambassador, following her own 2014 diagnosis. Biography highlights BAFTA Best Children’s Presenter (2005) for Michaela’s Wild Challenge (Channel 5) Co-presenter, BBC Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch (2011 to present), alongside Chris Packham Presenter, BBC Countryfile (1999 to 2009) Presenter, BBC’s The Really Wild Show (1993 to 2006) Presenter for Channel 5, National Geographic and Animal Planet, including Safari Live from Kruger National Park, Big 5 Little 5, Digging for Treasure and Extreme Conservation for BBC World News Author, Michaela Strachan’s Really Wild Adventures (2013) Finalist, ITV Dancing on Ice (2025), oldest contestant in the show’s history Biography Springwatch is one of British television’s most enduring nature programmes. Strachan has co-presented it since 2011 alongside Chris Packham, on location at reserves including Slimbridge and Wild Ken Hill. The role demands what few broadcasters can sustain over fifteen years: holding an audience through serious conservation content without losing either the science or the warmth. Before Springwatch came ten years on BBC’s Countryfile and thirteen years on The Really Wild Show, the BBC1 children’s wildlife series that ran until 2006. Earlier still, the breakthrough roles in 1980s Saturday morning television. Wide Awake Club and Wacaday with Timmy Mallett, then late-night music as the ‘Her’ in The Hitman and Her with Pete Waterman. The presenting craft is BAFTA-validated. She won Best Children’s Presenter at the 2005 British Academy Children’s Awards for Michaela’s Wild Challenge on Channel 5. International filming with SANCCOB, the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust gives her the fieldwork credentials behind the broadcasting craft. Audiences from forty years of British television recognise her on stage. That reach is unusual. Sustainability and conservation briefs benefit from a host with subject knowledge to back the warmth. Resilience and wellbeing programmes can draw on her work as a Breast Cancer Now ambassador after her own 2014 diagnosis. Few television presenters span Wide Awake Club, Springwatch and the Dancing on Ice final. Key speaking topics Wildlife and conservation Climate and sustainability communication Hosting and moderating live events Personal resilience and reinvention Breast cancer awareness and recovery Television and broadcasting craft Ideal for Sustainability conferences, climate events and ESG forums needing a credible host who is comfortable with the subject matter Wildlife festivals, conservation fundraisers and environmental charities Awards ceremonies, gala dinners and corporate emcee briefs that benefit from a familiar British television voice Health, wellbeing and women’s events drawing on personal cancer recovery and resilience themes Audience outcomes A grounded picture of what conservation actually looks like behind the camera, from Borneo orangutan rescues to penguin colonies in South Africa Stories of professional reinvention across forty years on television, useful for audiences thinking about long careers and second acts A clear, generous account of life through a breast cancer diagnosis and recovery Behind-the-scenes detail on how Springwatch and other live nature broadcasts are actually made

Why organisations work with Steve Backshall Two decades of first-hand evidence on climate and biodiversity change, anchored by Our Changing Planet, the BBC’s seven-year longitudinal study of six fragile ecosystems. Credibility across two audiences in one booking: the executive room responsible for climate strategy, and the wider workforce that responds to adventure, resilience, and human performance stories. A scientific spine behind the broadcaster, including an MSc in bioscience and an honorary doctorate from the University of Exeter, which lifts the content above motivational generality. Experience hosting and moderating at scale, including a sold-out UK and Australia theatre tour, which makes him a low-risk choice for plenary, fireside, or interview formats. A working conservationist, not a commentator. President of Buglife and an active patron, which gives his environmental content first-party authority rather than secondary analysis. Biography highlights Two BAFTAs in 2011: Best Children’s Presenter and Best Factual Series, both for Deadly 60. MBE, 2020, for services to wildlife conservation and charity. Honorary PhD, University of Exeter; MSc Bioscience, Canterbury Christ Church University. National Geographic Channel “Adventurer in Residence”, 1998 to 2003. Presenter of Our Changing Planet (BBC One), Expedition with Steve Backshall (BBC Two and Dave), Deadly 60 (CBBC), and Lost Land of the Tiger / Volcano / Jaguar. Author of Deep Blue, Mountain, Wildlings, Expedition, and The Falcon Chronicles novels. Biography The natural world is no longer a separate file in the corporate risk register. Climate volatility, biodiversity collapse, and ocean health now feed directly into supply chains, insurance pricing, and licence to operate. The leaders who handle this best tend to be the ones who have spent time looking at the physical evidence, not only the disclosure templates. Steve Backshall has spent his career inside that physical evidence. As presenter of the BBC’s Our Changing Planet, he has tracked six of the world’s most fragile ecosystems over a seven-year arc, returning to the same sites to document what has actually changed. Earlier work for National Geographic, where he served as Adventurer in Residence from 1998, gave him a comparable long view across reefs, jungles, and polar regions. The credentials sit on top of fieldwork, not the other way round. He holds an MSc in bioscience from Canterbury Christ Church University and an honorary PhD from the University of Exeter, and he serves as President of Buglife. His two BAFTAs in 2011, for Deadly 60, and his MBE in 2020 for services to conservation, anchor a public profile that reaches well beyond the specialist audience. The same body of work supplies a second register that organisations use heavily: first-descent kayaking expeditions in New Guinea, first ascents on Venezuelan tepuis, world record paddles, and the operational discipline behind them. That material translates cleanly into sessions on resilience, decision-making under risk, and team performance in environments where failure is not abstract. Key speaking topics Climate and biodiversity change observed in the field Ocean health and marine conservation Expedition leadership and decision-making under risk Resilience and human performance in extreme environments Conservation strategy and corporate environmental responsibility Adventure, exploration, and the science behind both Ideal for Sustainability, ESG, and corporate affairs leaders responsible for climate narrative and substance Senior leadership offsites and all-hands events where one speaker needs to land with the boardroom and the wider workforce Conference hosts and moderators needing a credible plenary anchor across science, exploration, and sustainability tracks Internal leadership programmes on resilience, team performance, and decision-making under pressure Audience outcomes A grounded view of what is actually happening in climate and biodiversity systems, beyond the headline framings A clearer link between environmental change and operational, commercial, and reputational exposure Concrete stories on risk, preparation, and team behaviour drawn from genuine first-descent and first-ascent expeditions Renewed appetite for ambition and long-horizon thinking inside the organisation

Why organisations work with Nadia Jae She hosts a daily national breakfast show on BBC 1Xtra and won a Gold ARIA for it in 2023, so the live-microphone craft is tested every morning in front of a UK audience, not assembled for the occasion. She is one of the small group of UK presenters who moves fluently between the BAFTA TV Awards, the MOBO Awards, Disney and Marvel red carpets and corporate stages, which matters when an event sits between entertainment and business. Her interview reel includes Stormzy, John Legend, Usher, Daniel Kaluuya and Little Simz. Senior on-stage guests are handled without the script becoming the safety net. Raise Your Voice, her 2022 book with DK and the BBC, gives her a credible secondary offer on confidence, communication and self-presentation for younger workforces and early-career audiences. She brings cultural reach into rooms that often lack it: a DJ background at the BRITs, Lovebox, indigO2 and Fabric, and a brand history with ASOS, Adidas, John Lewis, Netflix and Beats By Dre.

Brand and commercial work with ASOS, Adidas, John Lewis, Netflix and Beats By Dre. Biography The BBC 1Xtra Breakfast Show is one of the most exposed live slots in UK radio: a daily national programme, a young audience, a music-industry guest list and no second takes. Nadia Jae has held it since December 2020 and won a Gold ARIA for it in 2023. Outside the studio, she has built a parallel career as a live events host. She has presented on stage and on red carpets for the BAFTA TV Awards, the MOBO Awards, Wireless Festival, Disney and Marvel, with a DJ track record at the BRITs, Lovebox, indigO2 and Fabric. The blend matters for corporate clients: she can hold an awards night, a brand launch or an internal conference without the cultural register feeling forced. Raise Your Voice, published by DK with the BBC in 2022 as part of the corporation’s centenary Share Your Story programme, sits alongside the broadcast work. The book is a practical guide to confidence, self-presentation and storytelling for young audiences, with contributions from George the Poet, Ade Adepitan and Nancy Kacungira. It gives her a credible secondary keynote on voice and communication for early-career and Gen Z workforce audiences. Her interview history on 1Xtra, from Stormzy and Little Simz to John Legend, Usher and Daniel Kaluuya, is the clearest signal of the on-stage craft: senior names, live mics, no second pass.

Why organisations work with Lydia Rodford She holds a live room the way a national radio host holds an audience of millions: keeping pace, energy and timing under control when the running order slips. She brings a Capital FM broadcast voice to corporate and brand stages, giving an event the production polish of national radio rather than the feel of an internal meeting. She works comfortably across formats, fronting awards ceremonies, moderating panels, and recording voiceover for the same campaign, so one talent covers on-stage, on-camera and on-air needs. She has fronted brand activations for Chelsea FC, Amazon and Wild, translating corporate messages into content the public actually engages with. Biography highlights Full-time Capital FM presenter, currently hosting the national weekend early-breakfast show on Saturdays and Sundays. Began her broadcast career at BBC Local Radio, presenting music and talk programming across multiple stations alongside TV trails. Voiceover artist for commercials, digital content and broadcast projects. Live event and awards host, emcee and panel moderator for corporate and brand audiences. Brand-campaign presenter for Chelsea FC, Amazon and Wild across digital launches. Hosted the M+C Saatchi Talent Speaker Showcase in London. Biography Most corporate events live or die on pacing. The agenda can be strong, the speakers credible, and the room still goes flat if no one keeps the energy moving between moments. That is the gap Lydia Rodford fills. She is a full-time Capital FM presenter, currently hosting the national weekend early-breakfast show, after starting her career at BBC Local Radio across music programmes, talk segments and TV trails. National radio is unforgiving on timing and tone, and that discipline is what she brings into a live room. Her work reaches beyond the studio. As a voiceover artist she records for commercials and broadcast projects, and as a host she has fronted brand campaigns for Chelsea FC, Amazon and Wild, turning corporate messaging into content the public responds to. When M+C Saatchi Talent ran its London Speaker Showcase, she guided the morning from the front. That range is the point. An organisation booking Lydia gets a broadcast-grade voice for the stage, the panel and the campaign, with the on-air polish that makes an event feel produced rather than improvised. Key speaking topics Live event hosting and emcee Awards ceremony hosting Panel moderation Broadcast and radio presenting Voiceover and brand campaign presenting Audience engagement and energy On-stage and on-camera communication Ideal for Corporate event and conference organisers needing a confident host to anchor the agenda. Brand and marketing teams running product launches, activations or campaign content. Awards ceremony and gala organisers wanting broadcast-grade presenting. Event producers needing a moderator who can keep panels paced and engaging. Audience outcomes A live event that runs at pace, with energy sustained across transitions and sessions. Panels and Q&A that stay sharp and on time rather than drifting. Brand messages delivered in a voice audiences actually engage with. A produced, broadcast feel that lifts the room above a standard internal event.

Why organisations work with Lissie Mackintosh A live host who can move between the F1 paddock, a brand launch, an awards stage and a corporate panel without dropping register, with the trust of drivers, teams and sponsors built up since 2022. Direct reach into a young, global F1 audience through TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and the Going Purple podcast, useful for brands building presence with under-35 motorsport fans. A genuine working point of view on women in motorsport, grounded in three years of on-the-ground experience, not consultancy framing. Hosting credits at scale-events where the brief is unforgiving: the 2022 Autosport Awards, the 2023 UK premiere of Ferrari and multiple F1 team and car launches. Biography highlights Lead paddock presenter on Formula 1 broadcast and digital content since 2022, interviewing drivers including Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, George Russell and Jenson Button. Host of Going Purple, an F1 podcast launched in 2022 and distributed via Spotify and Apple Podcasts, with guests including Oscar Piastri, Jamie Chadwick and F1 Academy driver Abbi Pulling. Hosted the 2022 Autosport Awards and the 2023 UK premiere of Ferrari, plus multiple F1 team launches. Face of the 2023 Reiss x McLaren partnership alongside McLaren F1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Brand work with Sky Sports, Scuderia Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes AMG Petronas, Aston Martin, McLaren, HSBC, NFL UK, PUMA, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Elemis and Elizabeth Arden. Aligned with Females in Motorsport and a regular public voice on gender representation across F1, F1 Academy and the wider racing ecosystem. Biography Formula 1 sells access. For decades that access ran through the same narrow set of broadcast voices, and the audience that grew up on social video was largely left out of the conversation. Mackintosh started filling that gap from a phone in late 2021, with TikTok videos that moved fast and assumed the viewer was new to the sport. By 2022 she was in the paddock as one of F1’s lead presenters, working across the championship’s broadcast and digital output. She has interviewed Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, George Russell and Jenson Button, and hosted set-pieces including the 2022 Autosport Awards, the 2023 UK premiere of Ferrari and multiple team and car launches. Her podcast Going Purple, launched in 2022, sits alongside the broadcast work. Guests include Oscar Piastri on his first F1 win, F1 Academy driver Abbi Pulling and former W Series champion Jamie Chadwick on the pressure of being a female role model in racing. The podcast is open about being designed for fans who do not see themselves reflected in the existing motorsport media set. That is the throughline. Mackintosh’s working argument, made on stage and in interviews with Sky Sports and Females in Motorsport, is that motorsport’s growth depends on whether the sport is willing to put different people in front of the camera and the microphone. She has built her career inside that argument and is a credible voice for brands and organisations testing the same proposition.
