Steph McGovern

For over a decade, Steph McGovern has been one of the most recognisable faces on TV, reporting on business and finance from around the world; from international summits to small business success stories.

Steph currently hosts Steph's Packed Lunch on Channel 4. Joining the channel from BBC Breakfast in October 2019, Steph had been expected to host a new talk show in Leeds, but the COVID-19 pandemic meant she broadcast instead from her front room in late March 2020.

As a presenter on BBC Breakfast,  Steph regularly first-hand those on Britain’s business frontline. Speaking to factory workers and FTSE 100 CEOs, Steph’s mission was to uncover and explain what’s going on in the real economy.

During the financial crash, Steph was the lead producer of financial news, working with then Business Editor Robert Peston at the forefront of the award-winning coverage of the credit crunch and banking crisis. Steph found herself at the hub of the financial world, with her finger on the pulse of every story shaping the economic landscape. It wasn't long before she began broadcasting herself, and has now presented on 5Live, Radio 4 and on the Chris Evans show on Radio 2.

Also a primetime television presenter, Steph reports for Watchdog and hosts two money programmes, BBC One’s Shop Well For Less and the children’s show on CBBC, Pocket Money Pitch. And, as well as appearing as a guest, Steph has also hosted Have I Got News For You.

Off-screen Steph has been involved in BBC community projects such as BBC Outreach and BBC School Report. Steph has been a mentor for young people in her native Teesside, running workshops for schoolchildren around the North East, as well as being active in areas around education and apprenticeships. A former champion Irish dancer she still keeps her foot in, often attending international competitions, where she helps to coach dancers.

Incredibly talented, intelligent and witty, Steph is the perfect awards host, conference facilitator and keynote speaker on economics, business and the current political landscape.
