Jon Hammond Booth

Jon Hammond spent much of his early career as a presenter and producer for both BBC and commercial television and radio, developing a reputation as a fair yet firm interviewer of guests ranging from top politicians to sporting heroes and celebrities.

It was a natural progression to coach others in the presentation skills Jon honed over 30 years and as Managing Director of the Catapult Group he now supports a unique client list of global business leaders.

He also serves as a Board Member of the Northern Ballet Theatre, is a Lords Taverner, and supports several charitable organisations.

Jon Hammond became a Trustee of the Royal Armouries in December 2004.

No rust here
