Steve Higson
ThePrizeFinder.com
Steve started entering competitions on the internet over 10 years ago. Realising other people were doing the same, he set up the website www.theprizefinder.com as a hobby in 1999 before it became a full time job the following year.
"The best part of the job is hearing from winners, especially those who’ve won life changing prizes. It's particularly heartening to hear from someone who has been through a hard time, then won a major prize and felt like their luck has changed."
Colin and Rita Jones

Colin has been the Editor of Business Opportunities Digest since 1982. Starting out as a teacher, with a young family and a mortgage, struggling to make ends meet, Colin has dedicated over 27 years to helping others successfully develop small businesses and supplementary income.
