Sally Taylor M.B.E.
Broadcaster & Presenter
Sally is best known regionally for being the principal broadcaster for BBC Television's regional news magazine programme, South Today. She joined BBC South in the late 80's from BBC South West, and has reported on virtually every major story in the region over that time.
In June 2005, she was awarded the M.B.E. for services to regional broadcasting, collecting the honour from the Queen at a ceremony in Buckingham Palace in December 2005.
In the Spring of 2007 Sally was able to fulfil a lifelong ambition and travel to Antarctica - via the Falkland Islands - and broadcast live to viewers from the amazing landscape still only witnessed by very few.
Away from the screen Sally has a passion for good wine and food and is keen on organic produce.
She writes a weekly column in the Southern Daily Echo, which she calls her "rant of the week"! and now has a three hour radio show on BBC Radio Solent on Saturday mornings known as "Sally on Saturday".
In 1999 Sally underwent surgery for breast cancer and as a result is now heavily involved in a number of charities; she is also a Patron of 'Simon Says', a charity that helps children who are b
ereaved. She works closely with the Hampshire Learning and Skills Council and Business Link in promoting local businesses across the South.
On-screen, Sally is well-known for her easy and relaxed style, she loves presenting South Today and takes her responsibilities very seriously, but nothing is more important to her than interacting with the audience.
Sally's professionalism and attention to detail is key to her style and her sharp sense of humour with her colleagues and with the audience at home, has made her one of the most popular presenters in the South of England.
Sally is available for personal appearance work, after dinner speeches and multi-media work to name but a few.
Please feel free to call and discuss Sally's availability for your engagement.
