Martyn Lewis has been involved with the voluntary sector for almost 30 years and became chair of the NCVO in late 2010, although he is best known as a television broadcaster, famously presenting the One O'Clock News for the BBC.

He is vice-president of Help the Hospices, Marie Curie Cancer Care and Macmillan Cancer Care.

During his 32 years as a television journalist he presented every mainstream national news programme on BBC TV and ITV before moving into business in 1999 when he co-founded - and is now European chairman of – Teliris Inc., the global technology pioneer of a new, realtime communications technology known as telepresence. He is also chairman of NICE TV, which works with ITN to deliver high quality news videos for industry-wide conferences, exhibitions and events.
