Last Thursday we were joined by Gareth Davies who was producing shows like Strictly Come Dancing and helping to carve the career of countless TV presenters- from Claudia Winkleman to Graham Norton.
A former music and drama graduate from Royal Holloway Gareth went on to work at the BBC for 9 years on countless TV shows before going freelance. His work has taken him around the globe and 2 years ago he set up The Presenter Studio – a TV Presenter Training Company that gives people access to the industry. The business has seen presenters go on to present for all the major channels and continues to make the stars of tomorrow.
