About Claudia

I co-founded Switchity in 2022 and lead the editorial as Managing Editor, with a specialism in UK consumer comparison across broadband, mobile and energy. Four years into running this platform, I spend my working week inside these markets: tracking deals across our 30+ provider panel, reading provider terms, working through regulatory changes from Ofcom and Ofgem, and making sure every guide and review we publish reflects what’s actually true at the moment a reader is making a switching decision.

Switchity exists because I’d seen first-hand how powerful good comparison can be when it comes to saving real money on household bills. With the cost of living squeeze affecting every UK household, every pound saved on broadband, mobile or energy matters more than ever. And every switch we facilitate is also a chance to fund climate action through our partnership with Ecologi. The switching record at the top of this page isn’t theoretical savings — it’s what’s actually saved my household around £750 a year, using the same tools and approach we offer every reader.

Behind every guide is over a decade of editorial leadership, formally backed by a CIM Level 6 in Marketing with Distinction. That background shapes how we work: claims grounded in primary sources, recommendations backed by data, and reviews that cover cons as honestly as pros. If a provider has weak service ratings or aggressive contract terms, we say so, even when they’re one of our commercial partners.

In my spare time, I love travelling with my family to experience new places. Mexico is my favourite spot to unwind, and we’re lucky to have Europe on our doorstep for shorter trips to experience different cultures with great food. At home, I love getting creative with my daughter through arts and crafts, sharing in her world and watching her imagination flourish.

What I cover at Switchity

Broadband

I write about the UK broadband market end-to-end, from the full-fibre rollout across Openreach and the regional altnets to the contract terms most people sign without reading. My coverage spans One Touch Switch, mid-contract price rises under Ofcom's rules, and the practical question of what speed you'll actually need for your household.

Mobile and SIM-only

I write about the UK mobile market with a focus on where consumers actually overpay. That includes handset contracts that lock you into higher monthly costs than necessary, SIM-only plans that don't match real-world data usage, and the sub-brand strategy of major networks (Talkmobile on Vodafone, SMARTY on Three, GiffGaff as an O2 brand) that often delivers the same coverage at a fraction of the price.

Switching and your rights

This category sits across the services Switchity covers. I write about the regulatory framework UK households can rely on (Ofcom's Automatic Compensation Scheme, the Ofgem Confidence Code, One Touch Switch protections) and how the switching process actually works, so you know your rights before you need them.
