Charlotte Richardson – Keynote Speaker

Charlotte Richardson is an award-winning media professional and sports broadcaster. Charlotte has worked in sport for a decade for organisations including the BBC, TalkSport, The Football Association, Women in Sport and more.

After starting her career in sports marketing, in recent years, Charlotte’s direction has taken a slight (but very exciting!) turn. Charlotte is now a freelance presenter, reporter and football commentator. In the space of two years, Charlotte has become Talksport’s first female commentator and covers the whole football pyramid for both radio and TV.

Charlotte’s broadcasting career began with the BBC within local radio, before being selected to report on the corporation’s prime time Saturday show, Final Score. Since that breakthrough, Charlotte has been working as a presenter, reporter, commentator and interviewer and continues to flourish. She features regularly across Talksport and Talksport 2 working across the entire men’s football pyramid as well as the Women’s Super League and Championship.

In addition to her work with national broadcasters, Charlotte has a passion for grassroots sport and travels the country presenting the England Football podcast, In The Box. More local to home, Charlotte is a key part of Charlton Athletic’s hugely successful Charlton TV production, hosting live broadcasts, in-person events as well as pitch-side presenting on game days at The Valley.

Charlotte loves her football but that is not her only passion. A true sports fanatic, you can often hear Charlotte providing sports analysis, updates and opinions of Times Radio Breakfast.

Outside of work, Charlotte’s world still revolves around sport. Any spare time is spent watching, listening to or reading about sport!
