He works as awards host for Business Matters, a magazine for entrepreneurs, Bauer Media, UMAL, and the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment. There is no doubt that he is in high demand.
Joining the BBC in 1984, Edwards has certainly made his way up the rankings. He has done many roles at the national broadcaster, most notably being the BBC’s chief presenter on News at One, Six and Ten.
Edwards bravely revealed in a S4C Welsh documentary, Huw Edwards yn 60, and an interview with Men’s Health UK, that he has been battling depression since 2002. He stated that many days his condition causes him to struggle to get out of bed and makes him dread going to work.
The presenter said he was met with ‘deep-freeze silence’ from the BBC after confessing his mental state, and he was later told by a colleague that ‘the BBC doesn’t want people to think there’s a nutter reading the 10 o’clock news’ – a comment which confirms the stigma surrounding mental health. However, despite such attitudes, Edwards has powered through the harder days and never fails to deliver a sharp and concise news story.
