My Student Bills Limited

Founded in 2009, the aim of MyStudentBills is to provide a price comparison website dedicated to the unique needs of students.  By focusing on the three areas where students pay bills (energy, broadband and insurance) MyStudentBills removes all the needless waffle attached to more mainstream websites. It also has lots of useful hints and tips to make the transition from halls to shared housing that much easier.

It was my responsibility to:

- Manage marketing relations with suppliers and clients; 
- Develop the website into a usable format;
- Control cashflow and expenditure by preparing monthly budgets;
- Create new revenue streams to ensure the longevity of the company;
- Review competitor and partner approaches;
