Women Who wish you were here with Anthea Turner

From Blue Peter to Wish You Were Here, Anthea Turner has enjoyed a 15 year career in the media spotlight and will again take centre stage at Birmingham Chamber of Commerce (BCI) annual 'Women Who…' luncheon on January 29.

As guest speaker, Anthea will entertain ladies who lunch with her enviable career experiences. Her portfolio has taken her from BBC local radio presenting road traffic reports in her native Stoke to become one of the best known faces of broadcasting in the UK.

Her earlier appearances include Blue Peter, Children's Royal Variety Performance, GMTV with Eamonn Holmes and BBC 1's National Lottery Live programme. As a result Anthea was awarded a number of accolades including 'Showbusiness Personality of the Year' and 'BBC Personality of the Year'.

Anthea went on to host the popular travel series Wish You Were Here and also took part in one of the most-talked about shows when she appeared in Celebrity Big Brother along with other well known faces.

More recently Anthea has presented the 'Perfect Housewife' on BBC3 and appeared on ITV's Hell Kitchen.

The popular event, sponsored by Advantage West Midlands, will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel from 11.30am to 2.30pm. For further information tel. Chamber Events Department on 0121 607 1772 or email events@birminghamchamber.org.uk
