John Inverdale

John Inverdale has been one of the most well-known broadcasters in Britain for almost 40 years, and celebrates four decades as part of the BBC Wimbledon commentary team this year.

He fronted the coverage of nine Olympic Games, alongside most other major sporting events including Football and Rugby World Cups, Open Championships and Cheltenham Festivals.

John has also hosted 'The World's Strongest Man' on numerous occasions, which regularly attracts audiences in excess of 10 million, and fronted a 3-part investigation into the history of gambling for BBC1.

He is now on the board of Cheltenham Racecourse, a member of the RFU Council, and a member of the All England Club.

With his professionalism and personality, John makes a vastly experienced awards host or facilitator, ideally suited for any conference and topic. His wealth of experience and anecdotes from his career also make him an ideal after dinner speaker.
