Before joining money.co.uk, Kyle spent 10 years at the Financial Ombudsman Service. During his time there he worked across a range of product areas, resolving complaints in insurance, banking and investments before moving into the communications team.

His determination to make financial services simple and fairer for all, including the most vulnerable in our society, is something Kyle brings to his writing at money.co.uk. Coupled with his passion for helping small businesses, Kyle likes to talk about financial products in a simple way - providing clear information to enable readers to decide what's right for them or their business.

In his spare time, Kyle is a creative writer and author of a regular blog on his personal website.
