“We made significant progress executing the first year of our Reinvent strategy,” reported Moneysupermarket Group. “After choosing to invest in our product engineering teams, growth accelerated.
“We acquired and integrated Decision Tech to add B2B capability to the group, and we launched several new market growth initiatives.”
Describing 2018 as a year of transformation, the company pointed to its strong financial performance and said it delivered “record levels of switching” to save customers £2.1 billion.
“Our investment in optimising our sites means we have made saving even easier,” commented chief executive Mark Lewis. “In 2019 we are taking price comparison to the next stage by offering people more personalised ways to save and on more of their household bills.”
