Over Kate Sturgess
Kate has a wealth of experience within broadcast television – presenting, and producing programmes in her specialist areas of health, lifestyle, rural issues and fitness. She started her career on the Lifestyle Channel presenting the ‘Body talk’ series before moving to Central TV to co-host ‘Look Good, Feel Great’ for the ITV network. She has also co-produced a 12 part strand for ‘This Morning’ and presented a documentary for ITV and Channel 4 following the British Army’s successful record breaking attempt to drive around the world in 40 days.
This broadcast experience enabled Kate to transfer her skills to the demanding world of Conference Hosting and Business television. Her experience, confidence and skills means that she is at home talking about Brand Positioning with the CEO’s of major blue chip companies as she is getting down and dirty with the boys on the shop floor! This in turn, has lead her to being a highly versatile presenter of Corporate videos and Business TV.
She has tackled topics as diverse as wheely-bins, IT, fire extinguishers, mortgages, cars, chocolate and Jewellery! You name it she has talked about it!

"I first heard Kees’ story before any of it was written, when it was still complete fiction. I remember being embarked on a journey of imagination that opened the realm of possibility and inspired me. I remember thinking that I too, one day, wanted to be part of such a story. I enjoyed it so much that every time I meet with Kees, I ask him to tell me his story once again.
Since stories are meant to be shared, I also decided twice recently to invite Kees to speak in front of larger audiences at events that I have organized. In the first instance a round table of business executives on material scarcity Kees spoke about his company’s unique “circular systems” contribution to this vexing challenge. In the second instance – the annual retreat of KPMG’s Operations Strategy Group – Kees’ story became a vehicle to convey to young consultants broader messages about innovation, out-of-the-box problem solving and the power of “thinking big”.
Each time, Kees did a fantastic job of inspiring his audiences. And each time, it was an opportunity for me to hear his story once more even though I knew exactly what he would say. Kees and his story are deeply engaging because of the way he synthesizes apparent contradictions: he has a clear passion for big ideas, as well the deep technicalities of biochemistry; his idealism borders on naiveté, and yet he is a pragmatist par excellence in business.
I strongly endorse Kees in his ambition to tell his story to broader and more diverse crowds. And I hope you’ll invite me."

'I wanted to thank you for recommending we use Kate Sturgess at our sales team event in Rugby - she was a perfect choice."
"As well as being very pleasant Kate was keen to understand the issues and made an effort to represent the audience’s concerns throughout the event. She came across as intelligent and warm and managed to charm all the speakers and, more importantly, the audience whose feedback indicated that she added value to the day."
"I look forward to working with Kate again in the future and would offer no hesitation in recommending her to my internal clients."
Paul Ashford, Event Director
"I have used Kate in a variety of conference hosting roles and have always found her to be capable, well prepared, flexible and able to cope with the inevitable changes that happen before and during a show. She is a delight to work with and has provoked several outbursts of unsolicited praise from our clients."
