A new service is being launched to help TV production companies find new and experienced presenters, and to provide a showcase for presentation talent.

Backers of Getpresenting.com include Robbie Hill, the managing director of Hill Tribe Productions, Cornwal.

He says: “GetPresenting.com has been launched to assist tv producers to find the right face for their programmes, and as an opportunity for presenters to showcase their talent. Having worked in the industry for many years, there has been a change in the nature of TV programmes which now quite often require expert-led presenters to carry the programme forward.

I have spent a lot of time searching for experts on a wide and diverse number of topics from history and lifestyle, to fashion and interior design, so to discover a site that lists TV-friendly presenters by area of expertise is a welcome and efficient solution to the problem. Another good thing about GetPresenting.com is that it also allows undiscovered talent to promote themselves, providing producers with a one-stop shop to search for experts and discover fresh faces and new talent at the same time.”

Among the presenters who have already added their details to the new site’s databases are Radio 4 Food programme presenter Simon Parkes, and CNN wine expert Philip Silverstone. For more details, or to make use of the site’s free noticeboard, see the website.
