Over Philippa Forrester
Philippa Forrester is an intelligent and charismatic presenter. She is best known for her experience in live television, most notably Tomorrow’s World – she presented this alongside Peter Snow for seven years and during that time anchored many live specials and outside broadcasts.
Live Events for the BBC include:
Eclipse which she presented with Michael Burke and had the highest ever viewing figures for a daytime TV programme. She presented the Queen’s Jubilee Celebrations for three days with David Dimbleby, covering The Mall on the day of the procession. Crufts which she anchored for four years. The Foot and Mouth Special which was a live discussion programme hosted by the BBC. Zoowatch – a week’s live coverage following daily life at London Zoo which she hosted with Rolf Harris. And the Heaven & Earth Show BBC1, a weekly 1 hour live discussion programme. Philippa co-hosted this show for two and a half years with Ross Kelly. 2005 has seen her debut as a radio presenter for BBC Bristol and she is soon to start a regular live Saturday morning show.
Non-live television credits include:
The phenomenally successful Robot Wars which she presented for BBC2 for seven series and which contributed to FHM naming her the 42nd sexiest woman in the world [an accolade of which she is very proud!] Philippa has also presented many ‘specials’ and documentaries for the BBC’s Natural History Unit. These included Making Animal Babies – Clever Critters – Man Meets Dog. There were also three series of a pet behavioral programme for BBC Features called Barking Mad TX BBC1.
Off camera, Philippa runs a production company ‘Halcyon Media’ with her husband Charlie Hamilton-James. Their out put to date includes: the award winning, My Halcyon River BBC2 TX Nov 2002, [this was the Radio Times most requested repeat that year]. The Wild Wood BBC2 TX Dec 2004, Tarka BBC2 TX Dec 2005 and The Restless River [In production TX tbc].
Philippa’s authoritative and intellectual approach can be seen in her success as a published author. Her first book ‘The River’ [published by Orion, 2004] is a humorous and autobiographical account of filming with her partner in the countryside. She is currently working on the sequel alongside some children’s books and regularly contributes article for magazines and newspapers, for example, Sainsbury’s magazine, The Express and travel articles for the Mail on Sunday.
Philippa has two degrees. She read English at Birmingham University straight after leaving school and then studied Ecology and Conservation part time at Birkbeck College, London while presenting Tomorrow’s World and she walked away with a First. This has been put to good use producing and presenting for the BBC’s Natural History Unit!
Philippa is currently producing and presenting a series for Animal Planet about hand rearing an orphan foster otter cub called Grace and returning her to the wild. The series also follows the antics of her tame otter Honey, and the wild neighbours that visit. This series is due for transmission next year.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Duncan Oyevaar during the last year."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Duncan Oyevaar during the last year. In late 2014, I was asked to create the latest global senior leadership development program for DuPont. I spent a lot of time meeting with senior executives to identify the key areas that the program should focus on, and one of the important areas that was identified was the need to further enhance business acumen capabilities and increase the focus on all employees taking stronger ownership for business decisions and outcomes. I started to speak with a number of external consultants and thought partners to try and find an expert ho I could work with to develop a program/workshop to address this critical business need. Duncan and The Great Game of Business were quickly identified as experts that I should consult. In a very brief initial phone conversation, I explained to Duncan what I was trying to achieve. Duncan instantly understood my need, and agreed to get to work designing a half day workshop that would be supplemented with prework, & post program resources and application. Duncan and I worked together closely over the following weeks, and a very impressive program/workshop was designed. The program/workshop that Duncan created is based on the Great Game Of Business approach to create a "business of business people, who think, act and feel like owners". The first workshop was successfully completed in March of this year for over 40 global executives. Each leader attending the workshop was asked to identify a "bold idea" that could significantly impact DuPont's business performance & growth. During the workshop teams of 5 or 6 executives shared their ideas and selected one idea that they would focus on in the workshop, and apply the Great Game Of Business methodology to quickly develop a plan to implement and action the bold idea. During the workshop each team were able to identify a bold opportunity, identify the critical implementation steps and present their thoughts & recommendations in a very compelling and clear way. Senior leaders were very impressed with the ideas generated and the potential of broader application of the process/methodology. The workshop was clearly highly successful, and is now a way of thinking for the business leaders who have attended the program, and their teams. Duncan's extensive global business experience certainly made him a great partner and a very effective facilitator. I would certainly recommend Duncan and the Great Game of Business to any organization that wants "business of business people, who think, act and feel like owners".

"I think everyone thought Philippa was really good. She was really down to earth and everyone liked the fact that she related things to how she felt as a mother. She was very professional and I think she added to the evening. I was impressed by the way she added to her speech from the very basic layout we gave her.
