Richard Morecroft
Speaker Profile
Richard Morecroft is perhaps best known for his 20 years as the face of ABC television news and the host of many other programmes, from current affairs to business and documentaries. He is now one of the busiest corporate and conference presenters in Australia, in demand as a master of ceremonies, panel and forum facilitator, media skills executive trainer and corporate video presenter. His onstage Parkinson-style celebrity or executive interviews are entertaining and provocative, and as a speaker, his behind-the-scenes stories of TV news range from hilarious to revealing.
One of the best conference hosts in Australia, Richard Morecroft is always meticulously prepared, professional, entertaining, and, by popular consensus, a delight to work with.
In August 2010 Richard returned to the TV studio after eight years as host of SBS' Letters and Numbers, a game show devoted to word puzzles and numerical challenges.

Your recommendation has once again been perfect.

He is always punctual, does his 'homework', reads briefing notes, asks questions if needed, is courteous, well liked and is like a member of the family - which is why we have used him for years now! This year he was able to correct a script malfunction made by another presenter and the manner he did this in made the major sponsor ask for his business card for future events!
