Gary Newbon
Gary Newbon is one of the most successful sports journalists and television presenters around, having spent a staggering six decades in the industry. During this time, he’s reported on some of the biggest football matches in the sport including Champions League and Premier League fixtures. From Brian Clough to Sir Alex Ferguson, there aren’t many iconic personalities within the sport that he hasn’t interviewed, and when booked as a keynote speaker he’s able to talk about these experiences at length. Plus, he’s become an accomplished event host who can regularly be found taking to the stage at events across the country.
Gary’s career began as a junior reporter in his home city of Cambridge, before moving on to Fleet Street covering tennis and rugby. In the 1960s, he joined Westward TV and got his first taste of broadcast media. Following this, he joined ATV as a sports reporter, where he worked under the leadership of former England captain Billy Wright. Gary later took the top job himself, and was responsible for all of the network’s sporting output.
He has become best-known for his role at ITV, where he worked on the sports team for over 30 years. This included working as a roving reporter on coverage of Champions League matches and England internationals. Here, he would frequently interview players and managers. At his speaking engagements, he can discuss these experiences delighting audiences with his anecdotes from his extensive career.

The fee normally includes a keynote speech, as well as Q&A and meet and greet, but we can tailor the package to your needs and budget. Travel and accommodation for the speaker are normally charged separately but can be arranged by us.
Instead of having to approach each speaker individually, which can be challenging and time-consuming, we will take care of all of the legwork for you.

We ensure that a detailed contract is drawn up and are available to deal with any challenges that may occur along the way.
Each speaker has their own booking preferences. If you are looking to hire a renowned figure, we recommend booking 9-12 months before your event. If your dates are flexible, it’s often possible to arrange something on shorter notice. While we can accommodate bookings at any time, booking at least 3 months in advance ensures a smoother process and allows time to meet all your requirements.
Of course! One of our team would love to talk you through the range of speakers on our website and what they can offer to your next big event.
