One of the world’s leading wildlife film makers, Simon King has been involved in filming, presenting and producing natural history films for over 25 years.

His face is familiar to millions across the globe, as one of the key presenters of the series ‘Big Cat Diary’ and ‘Big Cat Week’

He is also familiar to millions in the UK through his regular live Wildlife programmes such as ‘Britain Goes Wild’ and ‘Wild in your Garden’ and in 2005 'Springwatch', all three series were shown on BBC2.

His work as a specialist cameraman includes pivotal roles in productions such as ‘Blue Planet’ [which won him an Emmy Award and a BAFTA for best camerawork] and many of the BBC Natural History Unit’s flagship series, from the Natural World [Cheetahs – fast track to freedom/Meercats – part of the team] to the epic ‘Planet Earth’, the most ambitious Natural History production in history due to be transmitted during 2006-2007.

Simon’s voice is used repeatedly in Natural History and science related productions and his reputation is one of honesty and integrity, both within the industry and with the audience.

He is a regular Public Speaker, drawing on his extensive knowledge of the Natural World to provide lively and informative presentations, which can be illustrated by his still library archive, or his film imagery.  He is very familiar with motivational speaking in the business arena, deploying fun but factual parallels between the world of commerce and the harsh world of survival in the wild.

His diverse professional life has taken him from the raging oceans of the South Atlantic, to the deep freeze of Antarctica, from the great plains of East Africa to the deserts of  Australia. He has worked in 6 continents in the most extreme conditions, and has a rich store of tales to tell from each, from the amusing and the inspiring, to the downright frightening!

Simon King is 42 years old, and still very much involved in the National History film making industry, with appearances in 2005 to include another Live transmission for UK television, work on Cheetahs, Caves in Borneo, Wolves in the Artic and  Sharks in South Africa, all of which include him as a presenter.  There is likely to be a further series of Big Cat Week filmed towards the end of the year for transmission in 2006.
