Millie Fender
Millie Fender is Head of Ecommerce at Woman&Home, and was formerly Head of Reviews across a number of Future Plc's leading Homes titles such as Ideal Home and Homes&Gardens. As our head of all things shopping, Millie is committed to giving readers honest, expert advice when it comes to spending their hard-earned cash.
After getting her degree from Durham University, Millie joined Future Plc as a Staff Writer. She has since written for Ideal Home, Livingetc, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, Real Homes, and countless other leading titles. She honed her expertise in reviewing products by heading up the Small Appliances vertical, where she tested nearly 50 air fryers, as well as dozens of coffee machines and many cupboards full of cookware.
Millie has always had an interest in fashion and beauty and has (almost) ditched the straighteners since learning how to look after her curly hair. In her free time, she loves to knit and bake, and has a 200-strong bucket list of London restaurants she's desperate to try out.
