Event Host and Broadcaster

Communication that cuts through the noise

Andrew Peach

“From reporting on the Ladbroke Grove rail crash, to royal weddings and the death of the late Queen, you have done the county proud with all that you have done to represent and champion communities across Berkshire. The relationship you built up with listeners was clear in all your programmes, and I know how important it was to you to hold those in power to account as well. You represent the best of the BBC and leave a strong legacy with our audience and those who worked with you.”

Tim Davie, BBC Director General

“You first interviewed me when I was a candidate for Maidenhead and we were both starting out in our careers. We’ve seen each other quite a bit since then and you’re probably the journalist who has interviewed me more times than any other. But of course I haven’t just been an interviewee for you, I’ve also listened to you many times. Here’s to many more years behind the microphone.”

Rt Hon Theresa May, former Prime Minister

"For people like me, trying our best to find out what's going on and bring it to people in a way that's informed and fair, impartial and engaging, you are a lodestar. You are a person to look at and think that is how it's done. That's how you maintain enthusiasm and passion for the craft, never forgetting that it's an immense privilege and that all that matters are the people who listen. It's all about the listener and you exude that: every time I hear your voice coming out of the speaker, I can hear that one-to-one connection."

Chris Mason, BBC Political Editor

“An assured host, balancing great seriousness and warmth and displaying a strong bond with the audience.” “Empathetic and probing, formulating questions that are short, to the point and perfectly timed.”
