Nick Hewer net worth

By Suren Prasad

Nick Hewer was born on February 17, 1944, in Swindon and has an estimated net worth of £30 million.

Following schooling in County Kildare, Ireland, Hewer moved to London in the 1960s, opening his own public relations firm in 1966.

Soon he became associated with Lord Alan Sugar, who chose Hewer’s PR firm to represent his Amstrad management group in 1983. Spending 21 years as a friend and ally of the business magnate, Hewer became an integral part of Amstrad.

Hewer sold his firm in 1997.
Did selling his firm being him millions or did Hewer make his wealth elsewhere?

In 2005, Lord Sugar chose him as one of his advisers on BBC One’s reality show, The Apprentice UK. He remained with the show untill December 2014.

Hewer has been presenting Countdown on Channel 4 since January 2012 alongside Susie Dent and Rachel Riley.

Alongside The Apprentice ex-colleague Margaret Mountford, Hewer presented The Town that Never Retired (2012), We All Pay Your Benefits (2013) and Nick and Margaret: Too many Immigrants? (2014), on BBC one.
