Matt presents the sport on BBC Radio 2 Drivetime with Simon Mayo. As well as interviewing the biggest names in sport, such as Usain Bolt and Jessica Ennis-Hill, Matt is part of the on-air team delivering verdicts in the highly popular “Confessions” feature and “Homework Sucks”. His relaxed and witty style will be familiar to the millions who tune in each day to the award-winning show (Sony Gold – Oscars for the radio industry).
Matt also features on Channel 5’s “Football on 5: The Championship” and “Football on 5: Goal Rush”. He’s previously presented the sport on BBC Radio Five Live, BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat and BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
Matt is an ideal host for live corporate conferences and award ceremonies. He has hosted events for the Guardian as part of their “Masterclass” series and the London Sports Writing Festival at Lords and feedback includes:
“Getting Matt for our Guardian Masterclass was a major coup – his depth of knowledge combined with his seamless, natural presentation style made him the perfect booking.” Emma John (organiser, Guardian Masterclass).
“Matt is the consummate event host. We have entrusted him with our headline events at the festival, featuring such names as Roy Keane, Roddy Doyle and Stuart Broad, and Matt has always delivered. Warm, funny, informative and always highly professional, he has always played an integral part in making the events a huge success and been a real pleasure to work alongside.” David Luxton (organiser, London Sports Writing Festival).
