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!

“Ik heb het genoegen en de eer al een slordige 15 jaar intens samen te werken met Jan Driessen. Jan is een meester in het strategisch denken en om het uitzonderlijk grote belang van communicatie haarscherp voor het voetlicht te halen. Jan voelt zich het best op een zeepkist van waaraf hij elke keer weer de wereld bijna kinderlijk eenvoudig overtuigt van zijn gelijk. Ik aarzel dan ook geen moment om Jan te recommenderen als het gaat over merk, over positionering, over omgaan met de media en over persoonlijke presentatie. Jan Driessen is een reclame voor het communicatievak.”

"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."
