Kate Quilton is a journalist and broadcaster known for her work exploring the realities behind the food we eat. With over a decade of primetime television presenting to her name, Kate has built a career investigating the systems, science and ethics surrounding health, nutrition and consumer choices. Her work has helped viewers make more informed decisions about everything from processed foods and food labelling to the future of protein and the impact of animal welfare. 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.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
