Testimonials

Balvinder Sidhu is one of those individuals who lights up a room when she enters. Her energy, enthusiasm, and passion for what she does is magnetic, and she has a natural talent that really shines through. A consummate professional, the quality of Balvinder’s work brings a uniqueness, intuition, and level of insight that is hard to find in journalism and media training. She’s one of a kind; a true asset and I can’t speak highly enough of her.

We are honoured that Balvinder Sidhu has now been part of our community for over 7 years. She won our Media Award in 2018 and I still recall the judges being inspired by the fearlessness with which she uncovers stories and addresses often taboo subjects in order to produce award-winning stories. As an Asian woman in the media, she recognised the weight of the silence surrounding certain stories, especially those deemed too uncomfortable or taboo. By choosing to speak when others looked away, she found her voice—and in doing so, has created powerful, award-winning work that resonated far beyond the margins.

Balvinder Sidhu played a key role as the face of Good Morning Britain’s news for audiences in the Midlands, as part of our trusted family of presenters in the nations and regions. Balvinder delivered hourly updates to the ITV audience in that area. On many occasions Balvinder joined the wider national programme and had great rapport with our lead presenters in London. Balvinder’s presenting style is professional but crucially she is warm and relatable which audiences love.
