About Chris

Chris is a highly accomplished professional with extensive expertise in IT, personal finance, and insurance, coupled with a strong dedication to consumer advocacy. He began his career in the IT industry, where he quickly distinguished himself by combining technical prowess with an in-depth understanding of customer needs.

In 2012, Chris made a strategic shift into personal finance, focusing on providing critical support to individuals facing financial challenges. His work in this area helped thousands of people regain control of their finances, earning him a reputation as a trusted expert in the field.

As Chris delved deeper into personal finance, he identified a widespread issue: many individuals and businesses were overpaying on household utilities. This insight led him to create a platform dedicated to helping consumers and businesses alike reduce their energy costs. His innovative approach not only delivered substantial savings but also set new standards for customer value and transparency.

Building on his success in the energy sector, Chris expanded his focus to include insurance, recognising the need for a more consumer-centric approach in this space. He developed comprehensive comparison tools that enable users to access competitive quotes for both personal and business insurance, ensuring they receive the best possible cover at the most affordable rates. His deep knowledge of the insurance market has made him a go-to resource for individuals and businesses seeking expert advice.

Throughout his career, Chris has remained committed to social responsibility. He has consistently integrated charitable giving into his business models, pledging a portion of profits to support causes that address fuel poverty and other pressing social issues.

Now, with SimplyQuote.co.uk, Chris continues to bring his extensive expertise in insurance and personal finance to the forefront. He is dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of the insurance market, providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to make informed decisions, all while upholding a strong commitment to social impact.
