Vivien Creegor Biography
Vivien Creegor is a highly accomplished chair and conference facilitator, she has moderated conferences for the likes of IBM, Coutts, The Guardian, Microsoft, Nortel Networks and Rolls Royce to name but a few.
Rising Through the Ranks
Vivien Creegor enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame with BBC Television. Starting as a secretary she rose through the ranks to the position of Production Assistant for BBC Radio Drama, an abridger for BBC Radio 4’s legendary ‘A Book at Bedtime’ and culminating in newscasting for BBC1, BBC2, and BBC Radio 4. Vivien gained experience before reaching the national news, spending several years at BBC Bristol.
She later moved to the multi award winning Sky World News as the anchor newsreader. The Sunrise edition of the show is now broadcast on Channel 5 as well. Alongside news, Vivien also presented topical specials on health, business, world finances and she conducted daily interviews with world leaders, Prime Ministers and Senior Statesmen. Sky is a global company transmitting through out the world including Australia, Mexico, Dubai, Europe and of course major hotel chains - which made Vivien one of the most well known newsreaders globally.
A Highly Respected Journalist
A highly respected journalist, Vivien has worked for many years with the United Nations, often as a Goodwill Ambassador and is the only British Woman to be continually used to chair UN Conferences. These conferences often include large audiences, live satellite links and interviews via interpreters. She came to the attention of the world’s press when she was honoured to chair a series of Women’s Health Conferences for The World Health Organisation in Geneva and Beijing. In Beijing Vivien chaired over 5,000 delegates including Hillary Clinton, Benazir Bhutto, Jane Fonda and Baroness Shirley Williams.
She has written many amusing and informative articles for publications such as The Evening Standard and is a regular travel reporter for The Mail on Sunday, specialising in wildlife and conservation type adventure holidays.
Apart from current affairs, Vivien presented a live transport and travel series on BBC TV called ‘Transit’ with Mike Smith. She also presented a 20 part series ‘The Small Business Programme’ for BBC TV. Vivien is famous for her wonderful voice and so it’s no surprise that she has been a favourite voice-over artist for numerous programmes and commercials, including Discovery Channel’s ‘Those Who Dare’ and ‘Mysterious Forces Beyond’. She recently filmed a moving documentary on her trip to Cambodia for the UN, reporting on the rehabilitation of the sex slaves, landmine victims and orphans there.
Despite the often serious subjects that Vivien has to deal with, she retains a great sense of humour and natural wit, something that she was able to show when she was asked to compere for Victoria Wood live at The Lyric Theatre and in her dealings as a friend of The British Academy of Film and Television Arts and on the board of The National Film School.
For several years she presented the Millennium Child of Achievement Forum where the delegates included guests like John Major, Mo Mowlam and David Trimble.
Corporate Events
Alongside moderating and chairing conferences, Vivien runs media training courses, does numerous voiceovers and occasionally delivers the odd after dinner speech about her experiences in television. She has quite a few stories to tell!

She ran the awards very well. In control without dominating - slightly misjudged her introduction but overall we were pleased with she did. She also played her part with guests during dinner
Poised and thoroughly professional - contributed greatly to the success of the entire event
Vivian was an excellent compere able to deliver on our requirements with enthusiasm and sincerety
Thank you for ensuring that our event was such a success. Your willingness to learn about our industry and your sheer professionalism were highly impressive. The whole thing was chaired flawlessly and you made sure that presentations ran beautifully.
I am writing with heartfelt thanks for the excellent job you did as Chairperson at the one day seminar. Judging from the feedback we have received from many of the delegates, your contribution played a major factor in this. We have had many comments about the friendly yet professional way you controlled the day, and I am sure that the speakers and delegates all appreciated your female touch! I do hope that we have the opportunity of working together in the not too distant future.
You contributed so much to the CHILD OF ACHIEVEMENT AWARD ceremony at The Hilton - both personally and professionally you made the day very special.
Thanks for your deft handling as Master of Ceremonies at our Corporate Seminar on Computing in the 90's at The Intelligent Revolution Seminar, Royal Lancaster Hotel. We have had extremely positive feedback, in particular the five video link with your old boss Andrew Neil in New York. Thanks once again for a wonderful job .
Having a non company anchor was a great idea. Vivien was a very positive influence and added a degree of professionalism and polish to the proceedings.
