Katy Ward

Katy joined the editorial team as a personal finance writer in January 2010. Prior to this, she has worked on a host of financial and education titles.

Working at BeatThatQuote gives her the opportunity to indulge her passion for bargain hunting and she loves writing money saving tips. "Before the credit crunch, most people thought finance was dull but now, we're all showing off about saving money," she says.

Outside of the office, she is taking scuba diving lessons and goes to the theatre at least once a month. Her ultimate goal is to finally save up enough to get on the property ladder.
