Arthur Williams

Arthur made his breakthrough in TV after a screen test to become one of Channel 4’s leading presenters for their London 2012 Paralympics coverage quickly turned into Arthur securing himself the job. After impressing at the games, Channel 4 offered Arthur the chance to remain with them and cover more sports and events. He has gone on to present Channel 4’s Paralympic coverage every year since 2012, as well as the Swimming Para Championships and the PyeongChang Winter Paralympic Games.

As a Royal Marine serving with both Lima Company 42 Commando and 6 Assault Squadron, Arthur was an active and extremely fit individual. He served in Sierra Leone aboard HMS Albion and was specially trained as a signaler in sophisticated military communications and data transfer. However, a severe car crash in 2007 resulted in Arthur being paralysed from the waist down. Courageously, this is when he rebuilt his life and set his sights on a career in media. Alongside this, Arthur also had his sights set on becoming a pilot and before long Arthur had taken his first trial lesson and was hooked. He subsequently went on to gain his private pilot’s license.
