MARTIN LEWIS:
Martin Lewis is a British journalist,
TV presenter and writer. He knows a lot
about money: how to spend it, where to
use it, and, most of all, how to save it!
Martin was always interested in saving money and helping
other people to save money. He gave tips to friends about
it, he talked about it on television and he wrote about it in a
national newspaper. In 2003, he decided to start a website,
‘[Link]. He paid a man in Uzbekistan £100 to
design the site and soon thousands of people were using it.
The website gave lots of useful information. It told people
which times of the day supermarkets had the most special
offers, It helped people get discounts on everything from
dothes to holidays. it told people when shops had sales on. The
‘website helped people to buy things that they couldn't afford to
buy before. And if you needed to borrow money to buy a new
‘car or a house, it told you which banks were the best to lend.
it to you. Lots of people started using [Link]
‘and started teling their friends about it.
The website has been 2 huge success and Martin has done very
well. Over 13 million people now use [Link]
‘every month and in 2012, Martin Lewis sold the site to another
company for £87 million. But Martin hasn't stopped helping
people. Since selling the website, he has given away over £10
mln to charities that help people look after their money. He's
certainly made a lot of people smile. And it ll started with £100.
