Hello, I am a co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, the UK’s best website for discount codes. LatestDeals.co.uk has over 3 million members (see full stats here). It helps people save money by sharing the best deals, coupons and freebies. Rated 4.5/5 star on TrustPilot with over 2,000 reviews.
In 2016 I self-published Money’s Big Secret which combines a social history of money with passive investment strategy. Read the first chapter for free here.
In 2014 I published #1 Amazon best seller How To Live For Free (top of Kindle personal finance charts four years running) with Deepak Tailor.
Before this I worked with bespoke suit tailors Mullen & Mullen and creative design group FullScream.
If you Google it, I am known in the media as Britain’s Sexiest Man (it’s a joke – have a read).
Life is most fun when you’re making something, preferably something nice. In 2014 I worked with FullScream UK, a creative design agency. A collective of fashion renegades, artists and writers, we rejected the Google / Dropbox candy colours and embraced sex, minimalism and fine Italian attention to detail (FullScream has a studio in Milan). Apps, websites, fashion films, commercials, logos, branding, we’ve done it all. The studio is headed up by Ced Ced Ced, who used to be Art Director of MTV World Design Studios. Take a look at the design work here. I sometimes write about design and relevant issues such as The Copyright Dilemma and in 2015 I was one of the first to raise awareness of how AI might take graphic design jobs in The Artificial Intelligence Debate.
Before suits, book publishing and creative design I enjoyed a short but intense career in corporate communications. That means PR to you and I. Working for a big supermarket, a fast-food chain with golden arches, a taxi-app, events app and some charities, I learnt to spread the word with writing appearing in publications such as The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, The Times and more. It was a fantastic experience which opened my eyes to how the media works and allowed me to apply it to other passions such as startups.
In 2011, I founded London Startups, a networking organisation that grew to become one of London’s biggest (2,400+ members). Technology startups met bimonthly to network, find investment and developers: a chance for a few drinks disguised as business. I have been business mentor to a few and launched a couple of successful Kickstarter campaigns (£150,000+ funding raised).
Side quests: Strength training, longevity, gliding, autobiographies, AI (and automation generally), rental property, Airbnb, investing, Brazil and Brazilian Portuguese, kayaking, cooking, cocktails, and being the best father possible to my son.
