Georgie thompson sky sports news report anchor woman

Georgie Thompson is considered to be one of the most popular anchorwoman of sky sports news. Born in September 1977, she presents the 3-7pm slot on Sky Sports News.

A sportswoman herself, she’s represented England in international junior tennis championships while she was studying in Queenswood Boarding School. Having completed her education from the University of Leeds where she learnt Broadcast Journalism, Georgie Thompson began her career as a production assistant for GMTV.

She shifted from GMTV in January 2001 to Sky Sports News and has since covered numerous sporting events like the US Open Tennis Championships, A1 Grand Prix, Grand Prix Masters, Speedway World Cup, Americas Cup and the Race of Champions. She is also a confident surfer and an enthusiastic Fullham F.C. supporter.

Her highly tight agenda doesn’t enable her to spend a lot of time on the tennis courts now. But once she does get the time to hit the courts, she does compete but now its just with herself. Playing at the competitive level for nearly 12 times each year in the past, she gets dissatisfied if she does not level with her standards. betting calculator

Voted amongst the top 100 Sexisiest Women from the Word by the British Mens Magazine, FHM, Georgie Thompson had humble beginnings. The daughter of a property developer, the value of work ethics and hard work were drilled into her at the very early age. It also ingrained in her the significance of investing in property and subsequently of climbing up the property ladder.

She’s the happy owner of a three bedroom terrace home in Chelsea. Though she feels that this property is considerably large as she is not married and does not have any kids, it has been a huge gain for her from a purely investment point of view. Initially costing approximately 500,000 pounds at the time of purchase, the property is currently valued at almost 800,000.

Georgie Thompson doesn’t consider herself to be really good with money and making it work. Following her fathers advice, she lets her financial advisors make every one of the important decisions for her. Having concentrated on property for some time, she has now thought about other investment options as well keeping her future in mind. Her financial advisors have shown her the need of keeping money aside for significant future expenses such as education expenses for when she has children.

She has also picked up an extensive insurance policy that covers her for critical illness and BUPA healthcare. Even though she finds critical illness cover very costly, she realized that with a family history of cancer she would not want to put a value on her health.

Although she loves earning money, handling money and number crunching are usually not a popular pastime with her. On the insistence of Sky News she set up a private limited company for herself several years back. Along with invoicing Sky News for her contract she makes sure there is a steady stream of revenue coming in from other sources such as event hosting, writing and submitting articles and corporate speaking.
