Declan Curry

Declan Curry is the Business Presenter for “Breakfast” on BBC One and BBC News 24, the UK’s most-watched morning news programme.

If not broadcasting from his studio at the London Stock Exchange, you’ll find him reporting from factories, schools, farms, breweries, bakeries, bus & train stations, supermarkets and even occasionally gyms all across the UK.

His more unusual interviewees have included a town crier, a Bob the Builder model and the owner of a dog that was trained to use a fax machine. He has ridden on horseback, travelled in a motorcycle side car, worked as a school dinner lady and taxi controller, and played the trombone – all in the name of fearless, honest journalism.

Declan also appears coast-to-coast across the United States each morning, with a live report for the US network ABC. He reports occasionally for the BBC’s global news channel, BBC World.

He recently reported for BBC One’s “Heaven & Earth” programme, as well as presenting Radio 5 Live’s “Weekend Business”, News 24’s “Storyfix” and documentaries for BBC Northern Ireland.

He spent four years as a regular columnist for "Investors Chronicle" magazine, and has been published in a wide range of titles in the UK, Ireland and the United States. He has written more times than he can remember for the BBC’s news website.

He has been a presenter for BBC News 24 since the channel’s launch in 1997. Previously, he worked for programmes on BBC Radio 4 (Moneybox, Moneybox Live), Radio 5 Live (Wake up to Money, Financial World Tonight), World Service Radio, BBC Two, Channel Four and LBC.

He was voted the Proshare “Financial Personality of the Year” two years running – an award based on the votes of thousands of small shareholders across the UK.
