Jeremy Nicholas is contracted to present large award events and annual conferences in the corporate market. He is particularly popular for being someone with the gravitas of a news anchor and the entertainment value of a top comedy act. He is commanding whilst being great fun. Jeremy is always in control whilst being extremely professional. But there’s more. Jeremy is also a comedian, a business speaker on communication and a very entertaining after dinner speaker.
After 27 years with the BBC and other lesser broadcasters, Jeremy Nicholas now works with companies and individuals to help them communicate more effectively. He’s a motivational speaker to energise your team. He’s a keynote speaker on communicating with impact and his show about the mistakes business speakers make, ‘What Are You Talking About?’ ran for 23 shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019.
Early Days:
Jeremy Nicholas cut his teeth as a broadcaster on student radio before doing a postgrad in radio journalism and then working as a news and sports reporter. He joined the BBC in 1987, going on to work as reporter and presenter on TV and radio, both locally, nationally and internationally on the BBC World Service.
He won a Sony Radio award for his breakfast show on BBC Greater London Radio as well as a New York Academy Award for his live commentary at the Hillsborough Disaster.
Jeremy always likes to add personality into his broadcasts and is well known for the quirky style of his news features. He’s shared his ideas on creative storytelling with other reporters in special sessions for the BBC Academy of Journalism. Jeremy is also a highly regarded chat show host having interviewed the great and good from politicians and entertainers to adventurers and academics. He’s coaxed stories out of sports personalities, even when they’ve had very little personality to work with.
Television:
On television he’s reported on the face of Elvis appearing in the blue veins of a Stilton cheese. He covered the Moscow State Circus husband and wife crossbow act who were getting divorced but still had eighteen months left on their contract. Then there was Speedy the tortoise having an artificial leg fitted. Tragically pigeonholed as an end-of-bulletin man, he never gets the lead story.
Jeremy devised the TV sports quiz ‘Sick as a Parrot’. This he presented on Ch5 and also on BBC Radio 5 Live. He hosted five series of ‘You Cannot Be Serious‘ on BBC Radio. Also, he appeared on TV shows such as ‘Noel’s Telly Years’ and ‘Call My Bluff’. Jeremy is a recipient of the highest award in UK speaking. This was the PSAE the Professional Speaking Award of Excellence. He is only the fifteenth person in history to receive it. He is also a past president of the Professional Speaking Association, London.
Jeremy Nicholas loves chocolate so much he co-owned a chocolate making business. Bianca Marton Chocolates, an award-winning artisan manufacturer in Brentford. Jeremy mainly tested the chocolate, especially the sea-salted caramels.
His one man show ‘After Dinner Stories From My Disastrous Broadcasting Career’ was a success at the Edinburgh Fringe. He enjoyed a month long run at the Gilded Balloon.
Soccer:
Jeremy is the voice of the announcer on 11 global best-selling football video games, FIFA 06 to FIFA 16. If your children have this game, you will know this man’s voice, perhaps a little too well. In real life he served sixteen years as the stadium announcer at West Ham United FC. Jeremy announced West Ham’s goals very loudly and the opposition’s very quietly.
