Graeme Coles-Andrew

Graeme joined The Armchair Trader team in 2017. He has worked in online financial publishing since 2000 as a website developer, advertising operations manager, data scientist and all-round go-to guy for online technical solutions.

Since going freelance in 2017 he has found a niche helping small and medium-sized businesses with GDPR compliance and PHP development. At weekends he loves going hiking, or at least a bit of urban rambling. He has shareholdings in BrewDog, Lloyds Banking Group, Prudential and M&G and a pension with Scottish Widows. Graeme describes his investment style as ‘wary’.
