Founder and Insurance Expert

Career so far

After education, Chris worked as an insurance and risk specialist for several years at Lloyds TSB in London. Chris then moved into technology and had a successful career in business information systems before being offered the opportunity to write for leading insurance companies in 2015.

He's recently completed his IF1, IF7 and I10 certifications with the Chartered Institute of Insurance, obtaining his Cert CII Certificate in Insurance in August 2023.
