Georgie thompson sky sports media report anchor lady
Georgie Thompson is considered to be one of the most well-known 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 finished her education with the University of Leeds where she studied 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 now since covered many sports activities including the US Open Tennis Championships, A1 Grand Prix, Grand Prix Masters, Speedway World Cup, Americas Cup and the Race of Champions. She actually is also a confident surfer and an ardent Fullham F.C. supporter.
Her highly tight agenda does not permit her to spend a lot of time on the tennis courts now. But when she does find the a chance to hit the courts, she does compete but now its only with herself. Playing at a competitive level for almost 12 times each year in the past, she feels disappointed if she doesn’t level with her standards.
Voted among the top 100 Sexisiest Women from the Word by way of the British Mens Magazine, FHM, Georgie Thompson had modest beginnings. The daughter of a property developer, the importance 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 is now the happy owner of a three bedroom terrace home in Chelsea. Though she feels that this property is substantially large as she is not married and does not have any kids, it has been a big gain for her at a purely investment point of view. Initially costing around 500,000 pounds at the time of purchase, the property is currently valued at almost 800,000.
Georgie Thompson doesn’t consider herself for being really good with money and making it work. Following her fathers advice, she lets her financial advisors make every one of the crucial decisions for her. Having concentrated on property for some time, she has now started looking at 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 like education expenses whenever she gets children.
She has also picked up an extensive insurance plan that covers her for critical illness and BUPA healthcare. Even though she finds critical illness cover quite expensive, she realized that with a family history of cancer she would not want to put a price on her health.
Although she loves making 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 a few years back. Along with invoicing Sky News for her contract she makes certain there is a steady stream of revenue arriving in from other sources such as event hosting, writing and submitting articles and corporate speaking.
