The host of the GMA Industry Awards 2022 has been announced.
Mark Clemmit will host this year’s prestigious awards ceremony, which returns after a two-year hiatus.
A highly experienced broadcaster, Mark is renowned for his relaxed access-all-areas style as the features reporter on BBC One′s Football Focus.
He is also part of the channel's studio presentation team on the country's most-watched results programme, Final Score.
In addition, Mark is one of the longest-established voices on BBC Radio 5 Live and has hosted the station’s flagship ‘5 Live Sport’ programme and its coverage of the Great North Run.
Affectionately nicknamed ‘Clem’, he is an immensely popular event, conference, and awards presenter who has worked extensively for English football’s main organisations, sponsors and beyond.
A keen walker, Mark's conquests include Hadrian's Wall and the London Thames Path. He was part of a football charity trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro that raised £250,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
For many years Clem was the match day reporter for BBC One's The Football League Show, where he built up a reputation for his entertaining behind-the-scenes features.
He describes his broadcasting career as a ‘happy accident’; while running his own fashion business, a chance comment on the way home from a football match led to his idea for a radio fanzine programme, dedicated to his local team, Middlesbrough.
Mark produced a pilot of ‘Red Balls On Fire’, which was initially given a five-week run on BBC Local Radio. Within 9 months, and with a budget of just £50 per week, the show was nominated for a prestigious Sony Radio Award, repeating the feat a year later.
Mark's other TV credits include Match of the Day 2, BBC Breakfast, BBC News Channel, ITV's David Beckham: A Footballer's story, BT Sport, and Late Kick Off in the North East and London editions.
The GMA Industry Awards 2022 will take place at The Vox, NEC Birmingham, on the evening of Wednesday 2 November, the evening of the first day of SALTEX 2022.
