Biography

At the heart of Graham’s speeches is unbeatable humour, meaning that an event with Graham is guaranteed to entertain audiences. Prior to his retirement, Graham started skiing aged five, when his Army pilot father was stationed in Scotland. With his love for skiing well and truly sparked, Graham went on to ski at the Cairngorm Mountains and Hillend dry slope, before racing full-time on the World Cup circuit.

From the 1980s to 1990s, Graham earned a silver medal at the 1984 World Junior Ski Championships and competed at a number of Olympic games for Great Britain; 1984 Sarajevo Olympic Games, 1988 Calgary Olympic Games, 1992 Albertville Olympic Games, 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Games and 1998 Nagano Olympic Games.

Graham retired in 1998 to pursue his media career. He quickly became a prominent television presenter, commentating on sporting events for Eurosport. Working on Ski Sunday, he was a part of the team who won the Royal Television Society award in 2002. From The Gadget Show and Pointless to Ready Steady Cook and Dancing On Ice, Graham has been a hit with fans for decades. As a speaker, Graham uses his on-screen experience to take the stage by storm, presenting with confidence and enthusiasm. As an advocate for the DisabilitySnowsportUK charity, he is the perfect addition for charity fundraisers.

"

"Graham took part in the Olympics Event at ICC Birmingham presented by Lloyds Bank. Ski Sunday presenter Graham impressed his hosts for the event, sharing his expertise and knowledge from 5 appearances at Olympic Games with his usual humour, charisma and personality. Graham was a total pro. So many clients and our head of marketing said what a difference it made to have a professional doing the job. He had such a light touch, was knowledgeable and effortlessly cool. He also has a few admirers! We've been told it was the best Olympic event, in fact the best event ever."
