Sean Fletcher

SEAN FLETCHER

Journalist and Television Presenter | @SeanFletcherTV

Mixed race (British-Zimbabwean), dual-nationality (British-USA), bi-lingual (English-Welsh), Sean is a journalist who represents modern Britain, combining a nose for a story, with an engaging warmth on camera and with contributors.  His multicultural heritage and personable broadcasting style means he reaches out to a wide range of audiences.

Sean has reported and presented news and sport across the BBC, on ITV and Sky. He has hosted TV programmes on a wide range of subjects from religion to food, race riots and war time evacuees. His determination to learn Welsh alongside his children has also led to work in Welsh language documentaries and dramas.

QuoteChampioning inclusivity is a cause close to my heart, because without workplaces and bosses who prioritised diversity in my career, believing in me when others decided I didn’t fit the mould, I wouldn’t be where I am today presenting on TV. So it’s an honour to return to host the awards again this year, and play a small part in promoting inclusivity in businesses across the UK.
