About Us

Knight Ayton Management have been representing leading news and current affairs presenters for the past 20 years, including the country's most distinguished broadcasters: Moira Stuart, Michael Buerk, Peter Sissons, Jon Snow, Angela Rippon, Jennie Bond, and Joan Bakewell.

Many of our clients chair conferences, seminars and host award ceremonies- and because of our long-standing, exclusive relationship as the main agents with all our clients, we are uniquely placed to recommend the most suitable presenter for all of these events. We strongly advise you contact Knight Ayton direct to book our presenters and not via a booking agent, who will still need to contact Knight Ayton.

International News Journalists have always been one of our main areas of expertise - the BBC's Tim Sebastian, Jonathan Charles, Zeinab Badawiand Channel 4 News' Alex Thomson.

News programmes across all networks are presented by KAM clients. For the BBC News Channel, Louise Minchin, Fiona Armstrong, Julia Somerville, Ellie Criselland Nicholas Owen. Please see further along this site for the full list.

We also have a huge roster of Business Journalists - including Adam Shaw(Radio 4 The Today Programme), Liam Halligan(Economics Editor at The Sunday Telegraph) and James Max(LBC) - who, between them, present all the programmes that count in the business world.

Some of the world's most distinguished Scientists and Historians are clients of Knight Ayton- Professor Susan Greenfield the first woman to head the Royal Institution, Professor Armand Leroi, Sir Roy Strong, Professor Niall Fergusonand Bettany Hughes- are in demand on the after dinner circuit for insightful, entertaining speeches.

We are also finding and nurturing the new generation of brilliant minds in academia.
