Jeremy is an award-winning ex BBC News broadcaster who’s now on a mission to inspire audiences with his stories. His talks are packed with takeaways, all illustrated with wonderful stories from his long and colourful career in TV, radio, comedy and international speaking.
His experience as a stand-up, after-dinner speaker and other jobs involving hyphens, means these are very entertaining sessions, which always score highly with delegates in the fun column. They’re big selling point is they’re packed with great messages which always resonate with audiences, which ensure his clients invite him back.
If you’re after an adventurer or an Olympian who will share their journey for 45 minutes and then chuck in a few tips at the end, Jeremy is not for you. He’s won nothing in the sporting arena and is very proud of that! But, he’s been speaking on stages across the globe since 1994 and he’s never had a bad review. He was the 15th person in history to be inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame.
Jeremy Nicholas is the perfect host for your awards show.
There are two main types of awards hosts: the TV presenter and the comedian.
The TV presenter is the first choice if you want authority and the show running to time with no mistakes, but it might be a bit dull.
The comedian is the first choice if you want lots of laughs and witty banter, but there’s the danger they might overstep the mark, use colourful language or offend someone.
The ideal awards show host would have all the authority of a BBC news presenter combined with the wit of someone who’s also a stand-up comedian.
Look no further than Jeremy, he has 27 years in news and current affairs and a lifetime in comedy to fall back on.
He’s hosted awards shows for Samsung, IBM, Hitachi, Symphony Legal and many other large organisations.
In 2014 he hosted The Good Funeral Awards. If he’d died that night at least he would have been in the right place, but he didn’t. He stormed it. He counts it as one of the highlights of his career.
He’s also hosted some really big, glitzy awards shows including the BESMA Awards, UK Business Awards, Newspaper and Magazine of the Year Awards, UK Customer Experience Awards, UK Digital Experience Awards, UK Employee Experience Awards, Knowledge Exchange and Impact Awards, UK Financial Services Experience Awards and is the only person ever to have twice hosted the Association of Serviced Apartment Providers Awards.
Across the world this job has many different titles, but whether it’s an event host, compere or MC you are searching for, Jeremy Nicholas is your man.
He’s much in demand as an MC at events. He’s compered hundreds of business events for the likes of IBM, Samsung and Boots. He’s three times hosted the annual international convention of the Professional Speaking Association, the only person to have done so.
People book him because he’s funny but authoritative. He will make your event hugely entertaining but will never overstep the mark.
He’s a seasoned chat show host, so he’s perfect for interviewing chief executives onstage at annual conferences, using just the right amount of banter to make it flow, without obscuring the important business message.
If you hire Jeremy to host your conference you will be in very good company as this recent client list will testify.
