Her passion is fitness, health and well-being and over the last 15 years, she has become a key figure in the UK running community so much so that she decided to create a podcast all about it!

Furthermore, she hosted 3 series of the award winning Women’s Golf Show podcast, whilst continuously working to encourage more women and girls to try the sport, which she took up (and LOVES) 6 years ago. In fact if she is not running, she is probably swinging a golf club on a course somewhere!
Born in Glasgow, before moving to Berkshire as a child, it was whilst at University in
Leeds studying Spanish, Italian and Latin that Jenni’s adventures in TV began, first with The Big Country for BBC Scotland, then the documentary series 3D and consumer show We Can Work It Out, both for ITV. A plethora of other projects followed including BBC’s Holiday, UKTV’s Fantasy Homes By the Sea, ITV’s How To Holiday and the BBC1 reality show for Sport Relief Only Fools on Horses.

In addition to motivating others to move, Jenni’s focus is very much on health and well-being.

Kollo Health goes from strength to strength and 2026 looks set to be a big year with even more products launching in January.
