He’s much in demand as keynoter, motivational speaker and MC at events across the world, especially conferences and awards shows. He’s compered hundreds of business events for the likes of IBM, Samsung and Boots. His background as a sports broadcaster is a perfect fit for awards shows.
Jeremy’s an accomplished after-dinner speaker, especially when they want someone funny, but can’t afford someone really famous. In 2014 his career peaked when he hosted The Good Funeral Awards!
In 2018 his comedy show ‘After Dinner Stories From My Disastrous Broadcasting Career’ enjoyed a successful month long run at the Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Fringe. In 2019 he premiered his new show ‘What Are You Talking About? -Secrets of a fairly professional speaker’ in Singapore before enjoying a 23 show run at the Edinburgh Fringe, at Surgeons’ Hall.
He presented The World Today on the BBC World Service as well as winning a Sony Award for his BBC London breakfast show. He’s a well-known voice on news broadcasts, winning A New York Academy Award for his live commentary at the Hillsborough Disaster.
On television he’s reported for BBC TV News on the lighter stories such as the face of Elvis appearing on a piece of Stilton cheese. He devised the TV sports quiz Sick as a Parrot which he presented on Channel 5 and also on BBC Radio 5 Live.
In October 2015 he was awarded the highest award in UK speaking, the PSAE - Professional Speaking Award of Excellence, only the fifteenth person in history to receive it. He’s a past president of the Professional Speaking Association, London.
He lives in London where he runs Talking Toolbox Ltd, which teaches communication in business, using techniques from over 30 years on TV and radio. Jeremy’s all about using stories to sell, how to make presentations interesting and how to use headlines, storyboards and bullet points to make reports more interesting. He works with companies on how to pitch for business, how to work out their core message and what structures to use to nail the delivery.
He’s taught creative storytelling at the BBC College of Journalism, and speaking and MC skills at the Professional Speaking Association of UK and Ireland
Kids of all ages are more impressed that he’s 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, announcing West Ham’s goals very loudly and the opposition’s very quietly.
TV sports fans will recognise him as the early face of live football on Channel 5, back in the days when the picture was a bit fuzzy. When the signal improved he was replaced by someone better looking.
He’s a published author and his third book ‘A Million Tips on Public Speaking - Volume One’ is available as a free download on his website www.JeremyNicholas.co.uk.
