Savvy shoppers will tell you that you can save hundreds of pounds every year by earning cashback on your spending. While it may sound too good to be true, some websites really enable you to make money as you shop, by rewarding you with a cash perk for buying anything from beauty products to insurance.

Oliver Ragg and Mike Tomkins are behind one of the best-known of these platforms – the cashback website TopCashback.co.uk.

The pair launched the company, based at the Staffordshire Technology Park in Stafford, in 2005. Today, the firm has 11 million registered users and 250 workers across the globe. In addition to the UK, it operates in the US, India, China, Russia and Germany.
