JONNIE IRWIN

We are thrilled  to announce Jonnie's  most recent adventure, Dream Lives, can be seen every Wednesday at 9pm on Sky 1. Filming will took place all over Europe and further afield where his business expertise and encouragement sees him help people leave their UK lives behind to buy a business to run themselves abroad.

Displaying his infectious enthusiasm and knowledge, former Surveyor  and business transfer consultant Jonnie first appeared on our screens presenting the hugely successful/award winning "A Place In The Sun - Home Or Away" which continues to thrive on C4 on Friday evenings.

Since then Jonnie has successfully expanded his TV portfolio.  His hard work and personable delivery has made him a sought after face now regularly presenting both ‘Escape to the Country’ and ‘To Buy or Not to Buy’ for the BBC.  He has also just finished filming new BBC daytime show ‘Wreck or Ready’ due to be aired shortly.

Jonnie also writes a monthly column for ‘A place in the Sun’ magazine as well as a twice monthly column for ‘Monarch Airlines’.  He attends the ‘A place in the sun’ live exhibitions around the country and regularly hosts many seminars and corporate events. 

However, Jonnie isn’t only enthused by business and property, his passion for sport is second to none being a keen cricketer, snowboarder, mountain biker, runner… the list is endless, there isn’t anything he wouldn’t try.  He relishes the chance to try new activities, he even took part in a toilet racing event… perhaps another career change?

Before successfully being picked for the presenting role on ‘A place in the sun, home and away’ Jonnie worked for business transfer specialists Christie & Co becoming associate director within three years and then went on to work for Colliers International.   Over the last 10 years or so Jonnie has advised clients on a huge range of businesses and property from small high street gift shops to multi million pound corporate hotel packages.  He hasn’t totally abandoned his previous career and still runs a bespoke property and business consultancy.
