Cat McShane

Cat initially trained as a finance reporter with Euromoney before moving into programme-making. Named a filmmaker of the future by Channel 4 early in her career, she has also written for the Observer and presented for the World Service. This cross-platform work saw her named a Woman of the Future, an award for high-achieving women under 35. In 2019 she was nominated for the Harold Wincott award for a BBC Panorama investigation into the treatment of hundreds of thousands of ex-Northern Rock mortgage holders, which led to the creation of an APPG on Mortgage Prisoners and a group legal challenge.
