Who is Martin Lewis?
Martin Lewis OBE, Money Saving Expert, is an award-winning campaigning TV and radio presenter, newspaper columnist and best-selling author.
An ultra-specialised journalist, focusing on cutting bills without cutting back, he founded MoneySavingExpert.com in 2003 for £100. It's now the UK's biggest money site, with over 14m monthly users and 9m receiving the Martin's Money Tips email – and Martin is still its full-time Editor-In-Chief. He's often credited as the "big gob in chief" behind campaigns to reclaim Bank Charges, PPI and Council Tax with over 10 million template letters downloaded and many £billions repaid. Martin was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list in June 2014. Other awards include Consumer Journalist of the Year and Citizens Advice Consumer Champion. He has also topped The Grocer's 2011 Retail Power100 list, was 5th in the Sunday Times Rich List Giving (Philanthropy) Index, and appeared in the 'charity and campaigning' section of the top 500 most influential people in the UK.
In 2009 Martin was revealed as the UK's most searched person by the web analysts Hitwise (in 2010, the last time the research was published, he was second to Cheryl Cole).
He is a governor of the London School of Economics, has an honorary doctorate from Chester University and, according to Google, was yet again the UK's most searched the UK's most searched British man in 2013.
How's the site financed?
MoneySavingExpert.com is free to use and free of advertising - you can't pay to have content put on the site. Articles are written based on specialised editorial research of the best ways to save money.
The income comes from links that generate revenue when clicked. Once articles are finished, where possible 'affiliated links' to the top products are used and have a * by them. Yet if no affiliate link is available a non-paying link is used; i.e. if the top pick doesn't pay, it remains the top pick regardless.
This stance means the top products detailed here often easily surpass those on the other money websites. Yet thankfully the sheer scale of MoneySavingExpert.com means it's very healthily in profit and also donates a good chunk of cash to the MoneySavingExpert.com Charitable Fund.
