| "As a nominee for the Presenter of the Year category of the 2006 RTS Yorkshire Centre Awards, the judges liked Nicola's exuberance and engaging and cheeky on-screen style which she has tailored to fit her speciality as Entertainment Correspondent. In the final analysis, the judges had to decide which of the nominees was most professional, who could best deliver the essentials of a story and who could best create an atmosphere of excitement. Nicola amply delivered on all counts and was a very worthy winner." |
| Jim Richardson, Chair of the RTS Yorkshire Centre Awards 2006 |
| “I worked with Nicola on The Time the Place. She was a terrific researcher – always brimful with ideas, enthusiastic, and full of original thought. In short a great character and a great asset. Little wonder she made it big on the silver screen in Yorkshire.” |
| John Stapleton, GMTV |
| Nicola has been a contributor to various radio programmes I have presented over the past 13 years, and it has never been less than an absolute delight to welcome her on air. She is always popular with audiences, being not only highly professional but also hugely entertaining. Long may she continue to be Queen of the airwaves! |
| Martin Kelner, Journalist, Author and Radio Presenter |
| Having seen Nicola on television and presenting a big event in Leeds, I was delighted when she agreed to host a charity fashion show at one of our hotels. I gave Nicola the final brief just minutes before the event began and was impressed by the way she instinctively interpreted our needs. She expertly and flawlessly compered the show. In particular, I admired her abilitiy to ad-lib naturally when the occasion demanded and the way her sense of humour and timing shone through. |
| Sue France, Head of PR, The Tomahawk Group |
| Nicola is a complete and utter breath of fresh air - not only on
camera while presenting a vast crosss section of features but behind
the camera as well, having the ability to put contributors at ease
immediately. She is just a delight to work with, willing to try anything
and always with passion, enthusiasm and a real sense of fun! She brings fresh ideas and total professionalism to every shoot and edit. |
| Roy Player, Producer/Director |
| “Nicola’s upbeat personality and friendly manner allows her to follow the occasional cheeky line of questioning which can really pack a punch without offending. I was particularly impressed at how she managed to draw Fergie, the Duchess of York, away from publicising her latest book and into personal revelations about her ex husband, her children and her battle to lose weight; all done with a smile and without making anyone feel uncomfortable.” |
