Sharron Davies's biography

At a glance

  • Former Olympian Swimmer
  • BBC Sports Commentator
  • Event host and compere

Sharron Davies is known for her extensive sportswoman and television personality career. She first gained recognition as a 13-year-old Olympian at the 1976 Montreal Games. By 14, she had won two European Bronze medals and, in 1978, secured Commonwealth gold medals in both the 200m and 400m Individual Medley events. Sharron earned a silver medal at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, competing against Petra Schneider, who later admitted to doping.
After briefly retiring at 18 to pursue a media career, Sharron returned to competitive swimming in 1989, reclaiming her national 200m title. As British Commonwealth Games squad captain in 1990, she won silver and bronze medals. Over her three-decade career, she set 200 British records, some lasting for 28 years, and was named British Press Sportswoman of the Year twice.
Sharron retired from competition in 1994 and became a familiar face on television, covering major events, including multiple Olympic Games. She has presented shows like The Big Breakfast and co-hosted Superstars, while also appearing in various popular programmes. Her versatility extends to writing, with several books published, including an autobiography and a learn-to-swim guide.
In addition to her media work, Sharron is passionate about fitness and well-being, recently launching her online fitness programme. She is a devoted mother to three children and a grandmother, and she actively supports various charities, including Disabled Sport England and The Sports Aid Foundation. Sharron co-launched Swim For Life with Princess Diana, raising millions for various causes. Her commitment to charity and community service remains a significant part of her life.

What topics does Sharron Davies specialise in?

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
