WELCOME to Firm Favourites. 

This week we have an online business that gets the best deals for businesses and shoppers.

TWO BARGAIN hunters turned their passion for finding deals, discounts and voucher codes into a thriving business.

Mick Rhodes has collected hundreds of deals from local businesses that were first shared with friends over a WhatsApp group.

The savvy father was inspired by first helping local businesses and went around East Lancashire to sign up businesses to his website Dealbusters UK.

He now has national companies signed up to offer shoppers the best deals and now wants to get more local businesses involved.

Mick said: “The business started off as a chat with a colleague about the best deals that we could get on certain items.

“It then became a Facebook page and now we have a website and hundreds of thousands of shoppers coming to the website to shop for the best deals.”

Traffic to the website has been bigger than ever during lockdown according to Mick.

He added: “People have the time to shop around and want to save as much money as possible during such ard times.

“That’s why I set up the business, I always knew where to look for the best discounts and money saving tips.”

Mick said he knows how important it is for people during the pandemic and urges people to get in touch, from small trader to major companies.

He said: “I am a business helping businesses.
“I work with those who need to get the orders in but can also offer the shopper the best possible deal.

“I liaise with the businesses and they work with me to offer the hidden gems.
“I also help the public so it’s a win-win situation.”

Competitions are also popular with Dealbusters UK web visitors.

Food drink, fashion and beauty, getaways, goods and activities are the main categories that attract shoppers and businesses wanting to feature.

Mick added: “Small business owners say they receive a boost in orders and that’s what it’s all about.

“The website has grown and Dealbusters is going from strength to strength.”
