Following a long and successful carer in motoring journalism and broadcasting, Jon Bentley turned his attentions to his other passion in 2004, helping to launch Channel 5’s Gadget Show.

Often viewed as the sombre and serious face of The Gadget Show, Bentley’s knowledge of true hardcore tech and the industry’s intricacies is unparalleled. Where Jason Bradbury might appeal to the younger generation and Pollyanna Woodward to every male with a pulse, Bentley’s all-round know-how and in-depth presenting style speaks to both the everyman and true tech fan. He has brought news of established brands to the nation and helped emerging companies find their footing within the industry.

Away from the box, Bentley continues to push the world of tech through his personal Twitter feed. It currently sports an impressive following of nearly 40,000.
