Contact details of active UK mystery shopping companies R-Z

Contact details of active UK mystery shopping companies

Below is a list of the active UK mystery shopping companies that I could find in a Google search in October 2015. This isn’t to say that this covers all active companies, or that the below companies will remain as active when you read this book.

There is no bias or recommendation intended here, as I’m just stating an alphabetic list of the companies I have found.  I haven’t used all of the below companies, nor would I suggest that you use them all. I think that it would be best to do some research and select one of two companies to start with. From there you will be able to grow into the role and find mystery shopping companies that suit your needs. If you want guidance then another Google search for mystery shopping forums will give you places that mystery shoppers exchange ideas and information.



I have added url’s to the shopper sign-up pages for the companies and a contact number where it was shown on their website. I’ve tried to keep additional notes to a minimum, but there are a couple of entries where I have added a note to clarify.

Looking to earn money in time for Christmas? Have you thought about Mystery Shopping?

I have been working on the different ways of promoting my book on mystery shopping. I recently produced the following promo video, available on You Tube to support the book and blog. It starts to explain the things that mystery shopping can do and how it can help you out. Take a look-






The video was made with help from an online free animated promo video-making company called www.RawShorts.com

I recommend them if you have a little bit of tech knowledge and need a free promo video.

If you don't have the skills of patience for this then try www.fiverr.com which is an online community of people that will produce all sorts of things for you for only $5.



If you are interested in Mystery Shopping and want a head start on getting free stuff in time for Christmas then take a look at my Amazon Kindle book-

See how my mystery shopping book came into existence

My Amazon Kindle book called The Secrets of Mystery Shopping : How to Become a Mystery Shopper was released yesterday. This is one of the books that I have published on areas of modern life that I have gained great experience in. I'm passionate about mystery shopping and I think that it's a good way to gain some money and free products whilst helping out companies with how their team reacts in certain situations.

The book was available to pre- order on Amazon but there was a little bit of a wrangle between me and them about the pre-order and edits to the book so the pre- order was cancelled and the book launched immediately.




When I uploaded the book file when setting up the book for ore-order, there was no mention of any issues in updating the content in the run up to launch. So when I went through the final edit of the book, checked and updated the contact details of all the mystery shop companies I was ready to upload the final file to the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing site. When I got there, this book was greyed out and I couldn't access it to update. I contacted the help desk and was told that for the 3 days before the release, the book was unavailable to edit - I'd missed the deadline by about an hour! Although I didn't know I'd missed a deadline because there wasn't enough information there to tell me.

I was gutted - the choice was to wait until after it was released and then change the book file -meaning that any pre-orders would be unable to access the updated file. Or to withdraw the pre-order title, republish as a ready to buy book and have my customers read the full experience. This meant that I would lose the ability to set books up to pre-order for a year. I went for the second option as I couldn't see the value in having someone pay for what wasn't a full book.

So, here we are, it's published and I've set up a twitter account @mysteryshopper74 to help with the exposure.

It's available on the Amazon Kindle store now, so take a look and see what you think.

Read why I've written this blog on mystery shopping

I've written this blog to give some sort of insight into the mystery shops I carry out and some of the experiences I have. I have been mystery shopping for years and I really enjoy it.

Mystery shopping is a fun way to make money and there are many interesting experiences to be had.

The mystery shops I've carried out have brought me to write a book on mystery shopping, as a guide to anyone who is starting out as a mystery shopper or looking to expand their mystery shopping experience.

You can find it on Amazon.
