Loved working with Kate on Drive To Survive. As one of the hardest edits on the planet, Kate dived straight in and told the story of the season whilst breaking new ground for the format in the process. She is a true professional, great fun to work with and loves the ultimate challenge. Give her a call!

Kate is a joy to work with. She brings energy, positivity and clarity to even the most challenging of projects and delivers beyond expectations. Do not hesitate to hire her

Jamie Wightman

I really enjoyed working with Kate as she is a great team player, and very creative in the edit. She has lots of ideas and has a wonderful journalistic enthusiasm for the story she's working on - always prepared to go the extra mile to make her programmes better. I highly recommend.

Sarah Eglin, Executive Producer

Tenacious like a rottweiler, charming like a siren and organised like a military operation - Kate won't take no for an answer and finds and delivers in the toughest of corcumstances. I wouldn't hesistate to recommend her for any hard-hitting current affairnvestigative program or series. We'd have her back, without a second thought.

I have been working with Kate on a high profile 60 minute film for BBC One, which she produced, directed and filmed. She's been great to work with at every stage. Creative and driven in leading the producers preparing an exceptionally challenging shoot, she thinks fast and reacts well when things fall down or change at the last minute. In addition to managing the team, Kate built a strong relationship with our presenter David Dimbleby. She filmed great sequences, and her creative and intelligent visual approach really showed in the edit. I look forward to working with her again.

Nicolai Gentchev, Director of Current Affairs, Mentorn Media

Kate Godfrey is an exceptional storyteller and highly competent producer-director. Her deep journalistic knowledge combined with her ability to work with vulnerable contributors and sensitive content makes her an asset to any production team. She works extremely hard and has that unique combination of being brilliant with story, crafting a narrative arc that drives a film and applying dramatic storytelling techniques that elevate the film. This makes her an absolute joy to work with and adds so much value to the project. I would love to work with her again and if you're considering booking her, just do it... You will not be disappointed.

Zoe Davis

Kate was a delight to work with. Very bright, creative and always looking for clever solutions that provide the maximum impact. I’d hire her in a heartbeat.

Maia Liddell

Kate has made an astonishingly good film for Unreported World in extraordinarily tough circumstances. Haiti, and especially Port-au-Prince, is a notoriously difficult place to operate, but Kate spent three weeks grappling with very tough access issues within the country's biggest men's prison, navigating tricky compliance... and all this at the same time Hurricane Matthew swept through Port-au-Prince. She was dogged in her perseverance, journalistically savvy and managed to shoot a beautiful, hard hitting film. She is also highly organised and efficient in her work. A great PD!

Hugo Ward (Series Editor - Unreported World, Channel 4)
