Early Life and Education

John Pickering was born in the Midlands in 1974. His family lived in a suburban area before moving to a rural village. His father was a headmaster at a school for boys. His mother, a solicitor passed away when he was 11.

He attended The Royal School in Wolverhampton. He later went on to study Government and Law at the London School of Economics and in 1997 completed a postgraduate degree. In 2014 he was awarded the key to the city of Birmingham for his contribution to local training schemes for young people.

John has 2 children, Thomas and Grace with his wife of 21 years, Kath. They have a dog called Hugo that was adopted from a local shelter who they love dearly.

Over the next 5 years, John hope to bring this consumer website to the masses with TV appearances on programs like ‘This Morning’ and ‘Loose Women’.

John likes to spend his free time with his family taking long walks along some of Britain’s amazing coastlines.
