Jennie Bond has been a journalist for more than thirty
years and has become one of the most familiar faces on television.
Although she made her name as the BBC's Royal Correspondent,
she has a wide breadth of experience in general news and current
affairs. This has helped make her a sought-after facilitator
of business debates and conferences.
She has recently chaired diversity debates at Deutsch Bank
and Citigroup, where her wit and tough questioning of the
panel were well received.
"The session went extremely well, largely due to your
input…which is much appreciated" (Lynne Fisher.
Citigroup) .
She has twice hosted the Customer Service Management Conference
-- for up to a thousand delegates - at the Grosvenor House
Hotel and has presided at many awards ceremonies.
"Jennie Bond was stunning: thoroughly professional and
very amusing" ( Institute of Public Relations)
Jennie Bond is also an established name on the after-dinner
speaking circuit. Few people have had a closer view of royal
history through the past turbulent 14 years and as the BBC's
royal Correspondent she was at the heart of events that made
headlines around the world: from the fairytale marriages to
the adultery, the divorces and the deaths, She has ridden
a royal roller coaster that has seen the monarchy almost brought
to its knees before being swept up on the crest of a wave
of national celebration for the Queen's Golden Jubilee.
For many years Jennie has also been a regular news presenter
on BBC Television and she is now branching out into documentaries
and factual programmes.
She began her career in journalism after graduating from Warwick
University in 1972. She worked on local papers as a reporter
for five years before joining BBC Radio News. During the next
few years she gained a thorough grounding in radio news, editing
the main bulletins. She also worked as a producer on current
affairs shows, including the very popular Woman's Hour, and
in light entertainment, with Noel Edmonds.
She returned to full-time reporting in 1986 with BBC Radio,
covering major news stories, for example in Northern Ireland.
She also began her career as a presenter, anchoring among
other programmes, the top current affairs show in the UK,
'TODAY', on Radio 4.
She moved to television in 1988. She has presented 'BREAKFAST
NEWS', the one o'clock and six o'clock news bulletins regularly,
and is one of the most familiar faces on the BBC .
JENNIE BOND has written a book "Reporting Royalty"
that tells in detail of her years keeping tabs on Britain's
Royal Family. It was published in September 2001 by Headline.
In Jubilee Year, Carlton Books published her "Elizabeth,
50 Glorious Years", a commemoration of the Queen's reign.
Married with a thirteen-year-old daughter, she lives in London
and Devon and thoroughly enjoys getting away from it all at
her seaside home.
Among the reviews Jennie Bond has received:
"A first-rate and entertaining after-dinner speaker"
( John Williamson: chairman of Lancashire Youth Association)
"I was at Malvern Theatre last night and JB was fabulous...great
format brilliantly delivered" ( Hilary Allison)
"We all enjoyed last night immensely..very interesting
and amusing...and we could hear every word!" ( Jan Bullen)
Could have listened to her for hours..." ( Nottinghamshire
Federation of Women's Institutes)
"Jennie Bond was spot on" ( Coventry and Warwickshire
Chamber of Commerce)
"Jennie was superb, not only was her speech witty but
also relevant. She mingled with the delegates, we will definitely
use her again" Nick King Managing Director King PR
"Jennie Bond hosted our two day international conference
marvellously, we have asked her to do it again next year"
Sue Hayward Customer Service Management Group
"Jennie was brilliant and entertaining and the group
left the conference with renewed enthusiasm"
Marty Streeper Meeting Management Group Tampa Florida
AFTER DINNER BIOG
Few people have had a closer view of royal history through
the past turbulent 14 years than Jennie Bond. As the BBC's

a royal roller coaster that has seen the monarchy almost brought
to its knees before being swept up on the crest of a wave
of national celebration for the Queen's Golden Jubilee.
Jennie reported on it all and now enjoys sharing her experiences
and often hilarious adventures with audiences at home and
abroad. Her "confessions" include her faux-pas when
she tried to amuse the Queen, her long and intimate conversations
with the Princess of Wales and what Prince Charles really
thinks of her white stilettos! She loves to make people laugh
and to show them that she is quite different from her on-screen
persona.
