Polly Middlehurst – News Anchor, Event Moderator

An experienced British TV/Radio Presenter, Polly Middlehurst is one of the leading faces of GB News fronting many of their major bulletins.

For 20 years, Polly was a familiar face on the leading rolling news channel Sky News, where she anchored live news from London for 20 years, covering major breaking news events from royal weddings and the deaths of Hollywood stars to political uprisings and the latest international business/market news.

Polly was an International TV News Anchor at CGTN and broadcast to Britain’s Armed Forces globally on Forces TV.

She has worked in films and appears as ‘CNN News Anchor’ in the all-woman spy movie ‘355’, directed by Simon Kinberg, featuring Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o and Penelope Cruz.

Polly divides her time between being an Event Moderator/Chair and Media Resilience Coach while still working as a TV Presenter.

Event Moderator/Chair

Polly hosted the launch of a private equity fund at the very top of the landmark ‘Gherkin’ building in the City of London for JPD Capital, steering the conversation between a prestigious panel of MPs and leading industry figures for the benefit of invited guests.

Expert at getting the best out of her delegates, Polly was hired by Hewlett Packard for their mobile tech conference at the London Excel Centre; and the Lego Bricklive team flew her to Beijing to formally introduce the Chinese Premier and the Prince of Monaco to invited guests at ‘The Bird’s Nest’ Stadium, as well as hosting a discussion evening for elite Chinese special guests.

Polly regularly interviews executives at corporate events up and down the UK and across Europe, chairing topical and political debates and moderating at investor forums in the medical (Proactive Healthcare Forum at The Chesterfield, Mayfair) and energy sectors (Oil Capital Conference for Riverfort Capital).

She has also interviewed leading financial experts at the London Stock Exchange for the Wall Street Journal online edition.

Polly has moderated in Toronto, Canada at the annual PDAC Convention, the world’s premier international event for the minerals and mining industry.

Polly’s other clients include Public Health England and the UK’s Ambulance Service, for whom she regularly hosts at the national paramedic HART teams’ centre of excellence in western England.

H+K Strategies

I’d be very happy to recommend Polly to anyone that is looking for a host or media spokesperson. She was truly a pleasure to work with – very down to earth, practical and professional.
She was able to quickly adapt to our changing needs, and pulled off a few tough name pronunciations … in Italian too! I’d happily work with her again.
