How can I convert a csv file in lat/long data into an Esri Shapefile that is BNG easting/northing?

To convert your data to British National Grid, you would need to define your source coordinate system and use one of the Reprojector transformers within your workflow to reproject the data. For this part, I would recommend this article:
