Kate began her broadcasting career as a journalist for ITV and the BBC, reporting extensively on farming and food production. She went on to become one of Channel 4’s youngest commissioning editors, where she led multiplatform projects across factual programming. Her innovative approach to storytelling earned international recognition, including a BAFTA for Digital Creativity and an International Emmy for her work on groundbreaking interactive formats.
Returning to the screen full-time, Kate became a regular presence on UK television, fronting a range of programmes across Channel 4, ITV and the BBC. Her investigations have tackled everything from the rise of ultra-processed foods to the challenges around breastfeeding, public health, and affordability in the food system. Her ability to navigate complex topics with clarity has made her a trusted voice in food journalism.
Alongside her broadcasting work, Kate serves as an RSPCA Ambassador and hosts the Animal Futures podcast, where she explores the evolving relationship between humans, animals and the environment. With a background in both editorial strategy and hands-on investigative reporting, she brings a rare combination of insight and experience to discussions about health, ethics and the future of food.
Whether addressing industry professionals, students or the wider public, Kate draws on years of frontline reporting and media innovation to offer practical perspectives on how food connects with some of the most pressing issues of our time.

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.
We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.
We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit.
