At GMTV, he interviewed anyone from Tony Blair, to the Rolling Stones, Vera Lynn to Beyoncé while also leading the stations coverage of the Iraq War and Al Qaeda. His time at the station has shown his versatility, enough to cover both ends of the spectrum from celebrity interviewing to hard-hitting journalism.

On top of his many broadcast credentials, Castle is also a seasoned after dinner speaker and award show host. He has participated in events for clients including Barclays, The Sunday Times and BP, amongst other household names. 

Renowned on the corporate circuit, Castle is a hugely entertaining speaker, auctioneer, inspiring & motivational speaker and a professional host/master of ceremonies.
