The Safety & Health Excellence Awards

Master Of Ceremonies

We are delighted to announce that well-known presenter Tess Daly will host this year’s Awards.

Tess co-presents Strictly Come Dancing with Claudia Winkleman and fronted the BBC show Just the Two of Us, alongside husband Vernon Kay.

A popular choice with all age groups, Tess woke up the nation on ITV1’s favourite Saturday morning show SM:TV. She hosted the Dancestar Awards for MTV, as well as Your World Cup Pitch for ITV1, and LA Pool Party for the BBC. She also presented the daytime heats for Britain’s Brainiest Kids.

After being spotted by Models One, Tess achieved great modelling success, gracing the cover of over ten magazines. She lived in Madrid, Tokyo, Paris, Barcelona and New York, immersing herself in the various cultures. While in New York she made Brits Abroad, where Tess interviewed various luminaries including the quintessential Brit abroad Quentin Crisp.

Tess’s first presenting break came when she spent six weeks scouring the country for The Big Breakfast’s Find Me A Model Competition. Stints on the Phone Zone and The Mix led to her presenting Singled Out, Surf Trip and Smash Hits TV.

Tess loves to write and has been published by Paper magazine. She has also danced her way through numerous pop videos for artists ranging from Duran Duran and Soul II Soul to The Beloved.

Comedian - Alasdair Beckett-King

Alasdair Beckett-King is an award-winning comedian, writer and animator who has appeared on comedy shows including Mock the Week. He has performed across Europe, written for video games, and has seen his routine on the future of ginger people go viral.

Described as original, distinctive and inventive, Alasdair’s material tackles everything from his own, striking appearance (always self-deprecating and sometimes likening himself to Biblical characters) to classical art, the naming of hurricanes and the conventions of crime fiction. Easy-going, friendly, and occasionally surreal, he’s quickly become a popular fixture of the club and festival circuit.
