biography

VIVIEN CREEGOR enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame with BBC Television

Starting as a secretary she rose through the ranks to the position of Production Assistant for BBC Radio Drama, an abridger for BBC Radio 4’s legendary ‘A Book at Bedtime’ and culminating in newscasting for BBC1, BBC2, and BBC Radio 4. Vivien gained experience before reaching the national news, spending several years at BBC Bristol.

She later moved to the multi award winning Sky World News as the anchor newsreader where she is still the figurehead. The Sunrise edition of the show is now broadcast on Channel 5 as well. Alongside news, Vivien also presents topical specials on health, business, world finances and she conducts daily interviews with world leaders, Prime Ministers and Senior Statesmen. Sky is a global company transmitting through out the world including Australia, Mexico, Dubai, Europe and of course major hotel chains - making Vivien one of the most well known newsreaders globally.

A highly respected journalist, Vivien has worked for many years with the United Nations, often as a Goodwill Ambassador and is the only British Woman to be continually used to chair UN Conferences. These conferences often include large audiences, live satellite links and interviews via interpreters. She came to the attention of the world’s press when she was honoured to chair a series of Women’s Health Conferences for The World Health Organisation in Geneva and Beijing. In Beijing Vivien chaired over 5,000 delegates including Hillary Clinton, Benazir Bhutto, Jane Fonda and Baroness Shirley Williams.

She has written many amusing and informative articles for publications such as The Evening Standard and is a regular travel reporter for The Mail on Sunday, specialising in wildlife and conservation type adventure holidays.

Apart from current affairs, Vivien presented a live transport and travel series on BBC TV called ‘Transit’ with Mike Smith. She also presented a 20 part series ‘The Small Business Programme’ for BBC TV. Vivien is famous for her wonderful voice and so it’s no surprise that she has been a favourite voice-over artist for numerous programmes and commercials, including Discovery Channel’s ‘Those Who Dare’ and ‘Mysterious Forces Beyond’. She recently filmed a moving documentary on her trip to Cambodia for the UN, reporting on the rehabilitation of the sex slaves, landmine victims and orphans there. This year she will be filming a documentary in Nepal.

Despite the often serious subjects that Vivien has to deal with, she retains a great sense of humour and natural wit, something that she was able to show when she was asked to compere for Victoria Wood live at The Lyric Theatre and in her dealings as a friend of The British Academy of Film and Television Arts and on the board of The National Film School.

For several years she presented the Millennium Child of Achievement Forum where the delegates included guests like John Major, Mo Molam and David Trimble. She is a highly accomplished chair person, apart from the UN conferences she has facilitated plenary sessions for IBM, Coutts, The Guardian, Malone Associates, Microsoft, Nortel Networks in Rome, The Millennium Technology Forum and conferences for Astra Zeneker to name but a few.

Clients include: Page and Moy, Microsoft, Saga, Astra Zeneker, Nortel Networks, Office Angels, Hewlett Packard, Toshiba, B.T, Remploy, Plessey, Norwich Union, Rolls Royce, Renault, Allied Irish Bank, the CEGB, AA, The Evening Standard Executive PA Show, The Manchester Media Forum for Granada, BAFTA and The Association of Convenience Stores.
