Broadcaster, Ben Fogle is one of the best recognised adventure presenters, known for continually pushing the boundaries of televised activities through documented challenges. The conservation conscious presenter is also actively involved in a number of wildlife organisations, making him a confident authority on reducing impact on the planet, both individually and in a business environment. Bringing two decades of presenting experience with him, Fogle is highly sought after to attend events, as both a professional host and guest speaker, able to discuss his extensive and versatile career with audiences.
Making his on screen debut, Fogle was selected to star in Castaway 2000, tasked with living on a remote island for a year. Evidencing his exemplary survival skills, and naturally positive demeanor, Fogle soon found himself fronting his own series like ‘Ben Fogle - African Migration’ and ‘Extreme Dreams with Ben Fogle’.

From climbing Mount Everest, to crossing Antarctica, rowing the Atlantic and swimming from Alcatraz to San Francisco, the former Royal Navy reserve’s exploits have spanned over 200 locations. Extensively documenting the trials and tribulations of his ventures has seen Fogle recognised with a number of accolades, including a Royal Television Society Award for his series ‘Through Hell and High Water’ which followed him on the Atlantic Rowing Race.
Running, sailing, swimming and cycling his way around the world, taking viewers with him each step of the way, has ensured Fogle is a compelling storyteller, captivating audiences with his tales. Transforming his career into a series of books, he currently has 9x Sunday Times Bestsellers, a testament to his captivating anecdotes. As a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, Fogle’s dedication to the planet is at the forefront of his media ventures, and Fogle has since become an ambassador for the likes of WWF, the Prince’s Trust and Duke of Edinburgh award. Able to educate, entertain and edeer audiences with his exciting career, Ben Fogle is the full package as a speaker. From hosting to holding thought provoking talks, Fogle has already proven highly successful with his 2020 UK wide speaking tour ‘Tales from the Wilderness’ and he could do the same for you, at your next occasion.
