Derek is an experienced and versatile TV shopping host and producer, and is on screen around the world daily. From a radio background he cut his teeth on screen at TV shopping channel Price Crash TV in 2004, demonstrating a variety of household products and eventually Jewellery - sparking a love affair with gemstones.
This took him to Gems TV and on to TJC (The Jewellery Channel) where he spent seven years and travelled extensively around the world. Talking of travel, Derek has been talking cruise holidays on TV since 2010 which has taken him around the world learning more about cruise lines, ships and destinations. You'll find him at Pavers Shoes TV, the world's only 24 hour shoe channel presenting footwear, fashion and accessories. Along the way, Derek has appeared on JML Direct, Ideal World, Immediate Media's JewelleryMaker and Sewing Quarter channels, Ace TV and many more. Most of his presentations are live and unscripted, but he is also very experienced in recorded and web-based promotional presentations.
More recently, Derek collaborated with Immediate Media as a consultant, as part of the launch project team for Sewing Quarter. His skills have also been employed not only to present but produce and formulate web marketing strategies and product demonstration for the likes of the Findel Group, ao.com and others. He also has experience in TV lifestyle programming, discussion, entertainment series and news reading. His first love, radio is still very much in his life - and he often lends his voice to various shows and voice overs for corporate clients.
