She is regularly seen across broadcast channels including ITV, BBC, Channel 5 and Sky Sports and was the first female member of the media to drive the Formula E race car.
Nicki regularly presents other automotive shows including ITV’s ‘Goodwood Festival of Speed’ show, ITV’s ‘Goodwood Revival’ show with Dario Franchitti, ITVs ‘Cars of the Future’, Sky Sports F1’s ‘Formula Kart Stars’, Blancpain GT Endurance Series for Motors TV and Silverstone Classic for ITV4.

She also launched a YouTube page in 2017 and has created a series ‘Shields Drives’ for her channel. As part of this endeavour she proudly earned her International Category B racing driver license and raced against Roborace; the autonomous race car – and won!
As well as being a petrol head, Nicki is proud to be a Science Communicator. Just as at home in the lab fueling her curiosity as she is chucking a rucksack on her back and climbing up Kilimanjaro, Nicki is an all rounder who loves a challenge and holds a degree in Biological and Zoological Sciences.
Nicki has investigated a number of environmental issues including farming, GM crops sustainability, electric cars, global warming and has met with many top scientists and MPs along the way whilst working as a daily online reporter for the month long science expedition to the South Pole, ‘Willis Resilience’.
Nicki Shields is a seasoned live events, awards and conference host, having taken to the microphone for a multitude of big brands and events, including the GQ Car Awards, The Gadget Show Live, the FIA Sports Conference and Ignition Festival and has hosted corporate events for brands including Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Shell, Pirelli, RBS, Visa, Intel and LG.
Nicki was brilliant. She really made it easy especially with enforced unscheduled last-minute changes. Feedback from the audience is very positive for her contribution and she really brought an air of class and professionalism to the event. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.
Nicki Shields hosted our annual conference at the Coventry Building Society Arena in May 2023. Our original host had to cancel with less than 48 hours notice, so with a very full agenda and 1500 delegates expected, we were extremely fortunate that Nicki was available and willing to take on the role.
Nicki was the consummate professional, combining knowledge of the industry with enthusiasm and warmth. No one would ever guess that she had had very little time to prepare. She brought a vibrant energy to the event and we had lots of very positive comments from our guests. We would definitely invite her to host our event again.
