About Jon Russell
I'm a Technical Power Platform Solution Architect with over 20 years' experience in IT, covering operations, application support, consultancy, and solution architecture. I'm based in Buckinghamshire in the UK and work in large-scale, enterprise environments, specialising in Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Copilot Studio, Azure AI, and agent-based solutions.
I'm known for systems thinking and end-to-end solution ownership. I help teams turn complex, often messy requirements into practical, scalable, and well-governed solutions that actually work in the real world. I'm comfortable working code-first or low-code, and I choose tools pragmatically based on productivity, maintainability, and team capability.
I'm a strong advocate for AI-first development. I lead and contribute to initiatives exploring how Copilot and AI-driven delivery models can accelerate outcomes in secure and regulated environments. My focus goes beyond the technology itself into governance, stakeholder confidence, delivery timescales, and long-term value.
I'm actively involved in the Microsoft community. I regularly speak at events such as the upcoming East of England Power Platform Summit, create demo content showcasing Copilot Notebook and agent-based experiences, and co-host the Sprint Zero Podcast with Heather Perriam. Mentorship is a big part of what I care about, and I'm a strong advocate for Essential Skills.
I'm diagnosed with ADHD (combined type) and I'm an outspoken advocate for neurodiversity and neuroinclusion in tech. Much of my content and session work focuses on designing tools, processes, and AI-powered workflows that reduce cognitive overload and help neurodivergent people thrive — not by fixing people, but by building better systems.
Outside of work, I'm married to Katie Russell, an Early Years consultant, and I'm a proud dad to two young daughters. Clear communication, calm leadership, and building things that genuinely help people run through both my professional and personal life.
About UK Fuel Price Finder
UK Fuel Price Finder is a free, independent tool that helps drivers across the United Kingdom find the cheapest petrol and diesel near them in seconds. Whether you're topping up before the school run, planning a long motorway journey, or just trying to squeeze a little more out of the monthly budget, this site shows you live fuel prices at forecourts around you — no sign-up, no tracking, no adverts.
In plain English: type in your postcode, choose your fuel type, and we'll show you the cheapest petrol stations nearby on a map — with prices updated daily from official UK Government data.
Why I built it
Fuel prices in the UK can vary by 20p per litre between stations just a few miles apart. That's real money — especially for families, delivery drivers, and anyone on a tight budget. In 2023, the UK Government launched the Fuel Finder scheme, requiring major fuel retailers to publish their prices openly. That data was always meant to help drivers — but raw government data isn't exactly easy to read. I built this site to turn that open data into something genuinely useful for everyday people.

Free, private, and independent
This site is completely free to use and always will be. There are no adverts, no affiliate links, and no tracking cookies. I don't collect your location, your postcode searches, your email address, or any personal information. The only analytics I use is a self-hosted, cookieless, privacy-first tool that counts pageviews — nothing more. No cookie banner needed, because there are no cookies to consent to.
If the site saves you money and you'd like to say thanks, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi — it helps keep the servers running and funds the next project. But there's absolutely no obligation.
Where the data comes from
All fuel prices are sourced directly from the UK Government Fuel Finder API, which is updated by major fuel retailers under the 2023 Department for Energy Security and Net Zero scheme. EV charging data is supplied by the Open Charge Map community project. Postcode lookups use the free Postcodes.io service. Prices shown are the most recent published by each retailer and can change throughout the day — always check the pump before filling up.
Who this is for
UK Fuel Price Finder is for anyone who drives in the UK and wants to pay less for fuel — commuters, families, delivery drivers, taxi drivers, fleet operators, caravan owners, road-trippers, and anyone keeping an eye on their petrol and diesel spend. It works on any phone, tablet or computer with a modern web browser. No app to install, no account to create.
