          Les Roberts

          A diverse career path has seen Les move from seaside town tea shop owner to customer champion at MoneySuperMarket. And these two roles that have combined at Bionic where you’ll now find him writing about everything from how to start and run a café to rising energy prices. 

          Having experienced life as a busy business owner himself, Les understands how hectic things can get when running a business. That’s why he cuts through the jargon to make sure you get all the information you need in a way that’s easy to understand. Whether you need to know how current events will affect your business, the best way to set up a business bank account, or anything in between, Les will have written something about it.
