Gareth joined Sky News after 10 years working at the BBC; where he worked across various TV and radio programs, including BBC News channel, BBC Breakfast, and BBC Radio 2.

Across television, radio, and streaming platforms Gareth has also widely followed the US news cycle: from the Capitol riots, to US strikes on Iran, the capture of Nicholas Maduro and President Trump's relations with Europe and NATO
Ten years ago, before his broadcasting career began, Gareth was a farmer running a high-profile business that supplied meat to Michelin-starred restaurants and even the future King of England. Despite having no family farming background, Gareth sold his Xbox at age 16 and bought 6 sheep. Six years later, the flock was 600 strong and Gareth had trained as a butcher and slaughterman. It's a story that attracted the media, exposure which highlighted his skills in front of a camera and which in turn became Gareth's current career.
An openly gay man, Gareth is prepared to speak open honestly about his personal experiences of growing up as a gay man in rural England. He also shares his prior challenges of poor mental health and the steps he's taken to improve that.
