Hello. I’m Declan. Thank you looking at my website.
I’ve been reporting on business, the economy and politics for almost 30 years. I have presented programmes on BBC radio and television in the UK and globally, broadcast for networks in the United States and Australia and been in print in the UK, Europe and the USA.
I am a regular business commentator on the commercial radio station, LBC News.
I chair conferences, speak at business events and host awards ceremonies – in person or virtually. Like many people, I’ve adapted quickly to working and speaking from home (not sure how happy the neighbours are about that …)
If you want to talk to me about your event, please do drop me an email or ask your agent to contact me. I would be delighted to hear from you.
