Biography
Mary Nightingale has twice been named Newscaster of the Year as anchor of ITV’s evening news. She has also presented several budget and election night specials as well as her own show, Dreaming Aloud, on Classic FM.
After starting out as a Eurobond dealer, Mary reported for TV Tokyo and fronted financial programmes for Reuters. She wrote and presented BBC’s World Business Report, interviewing analysts and economists, before moving on to the commercial network on London Tonight with Alastair Stewart.
Away from business and current affairs, Mary has presented Wish You Were Here, reported from the World Skiing Championships and the Rugby World Cup. Other credits include The Girl Who Would be Queen, for which Mary was given exclusive access to the Royal Family’s home movie collection.
‘Mary's professionalism helped make our awards a great success.’
Our evening event was a great success due to Mary. She is always fantastic. Her professionalism and delivery is amazing.
There has been one consistent message about Mary – she inspired everyone. Our audience have said it was the best event they have ever attended, and we could not have done it without Mary's input, insight and willingness to be open and authentic. We are truly very grateful.
Mary got the tone of the evening just right and everything she said worked really well for the diverse audience that we had. We were very pleased with the role that Mary played in our event.
We were looking for a well-known journalist / news presenter who could present a corporate awards event professionally but warmly. In particular we needed someone who was confident with adlibbing on stage as we wanted the presenter to do on-the-spot interviews with winners. Mary Nightingale completely fulfilled these requirements. The one issue was that Mary was unable to make the rehearsal. She managed very well without it, but obviously a rehearsal is always by far the preference.
Mary was keen to immerse herself in the company to ensure she was well prepared for the event and was very professional from start to finish.
One audience member described Mary as the 'icing on the cake'.
