BIOGRAPHY
Richard Hammond is Clarkson and May's diminutive sidekick on Top Gear. A self-confessed 'petrol head', his enthusiasm and humour are infectious, bringing a spark to the long running car show.
Dubbed 'the Hamster' by his Top Gear colleagues, Richard was famously catapulted onto the news bulletins after surviving a 300mph crash during filming. He incurred a severe brain injury but defied experts by making a recovery in just five weeks.
Richard made his TV debut on Granada's Men and Motors, on which the crew reportedly outnumbered viewers. He also championed motorists' concerns on Money Matters, and contributed a weekly car column for The Daily Mirror.
Away from cars Richard has investigated the Gunpowder Plot and presented Should I Worry About...? He also turned chatshow host and fronted Sky's science show Brainiac - described as 'Tomorrow's World meets Jackass'.

THE CLIENT'S VIEW

Whatever your budget, invest the most you can in your host: I've never seen a poorly hosted event compensated for by the exquisite flavour of the soufflé.

Finding the right one requires skills and understanding about what makes each of our audiences tick. An honest agency will tell you the pros and cons of your choice. And you can strike lucky and get someone up and coming, before they become household names and price themselves out of your league.
When you find someone who is clearly on their way to the top, you feel as if you've helped the audience discover a talent - and that feels great.
