MONEY MAN COMES UP WITH SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION BUSINESS IDEA

Chris Morling, the man who launched Cirencester-based financial comparison website Money.co.uk in 2008 and sold it to Zoopla in 2017 for £140 million, is aiming to disrupt the international education market.

Along with best friend Simon Andrews he has set up a new company, Studee, to transform how international students find their university abroad.

Simon has worked in the global higher education sector for more than 20 years, building the Big Choice Group which helped millions of young people with their careers.

Chris says the process of enrolling at a university for international students is outdated for today’s centennials. Studee has a multilingual team of advisers to help students from application to enrolment.

Studee will also plant trees for every student enrolled, to contribute towards absorbing CO2 released each time they fly to university.

Chris said: “Studee is reinventing the way international students find a university while adding transparency in an industry which has suffered some corruption and has largely ignored the climate crisis.”
