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: Fiona Bruce, Michael Buerk, Peter Sissons, Jon Snow, Angela Rippon, Jennie Bond, Sir Trevor McDonald and Joan Bakewell.

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

News programmes across all networks are presented by KAM clients. Please see further along this site for the full list.

We also have a huge roster of Business Journalists - including Adam Shaw (BBC2 Working Lunch), Liam Halligan (Economics Editor at The Sunday Telegraph) and James Max (from The Apprentice) - 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, Sir Roy Strong, Professor Niall Ferguson and 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.

We represent the newer stars of television news and broadcast journalism: Nina Hossain – ITV News presenter; Tazeen Ahmad – Channel 4’s Dispatches; Louise Minchin – BBC Breakfast, BBC1’s Sunday Life and Missing Live and one of the UK's leading film critics, James King of Radio One and ITV's London Tonight.

Radio plays a big part in our portfolio - including Five Live's Rachel Burden and Matthew Bannister from Radio 4, Radio 2 and The World Service.

Our Consumer and Lifestyle presenters include designers Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan and the UK's only moneysaving expert, Martin Lewis.

Many of our clients chair conferences, seminars and host award ceremonies- and because of our long-standing, exclusive relationship with all our clients, we are uniquely placed to recommend the most suitable presenter for all of these events.
