About our Editor

Steve Middleton first began contributing to Compers News in 2003, and took over as editor at the beginning of 2006.

He’s a genuine comper, with a real love of the hobby that stretches back over 30 years – his first prizes were a watch from Pritt glue and a 50p Postal Order from Whizzer and Chips comic, both way back in 1976!

Happily, he went on to bigger and better wins – and has won thousands of prizes worth tens of thousands of pounds over the years. Some of his biggest wins have included a round-the-world trip, £10,000 cash, and some wonderful holidays including Australia (twice!), Hong Kong, South Africa and the USA (four times).

His most exciting prize to date was a single day in Las Vegas with $10,000 to spend, the most fun was a treasure hunt in Hong Kong where he won his round-the-world trip, the most romantic was a trip to Paris where Steve proposed to his future wife, the most touching was a trip to Lapland where his children met the real Santa... it’s fair to say that comping has given him some unique and unforgettable experiences over the years.

Steve’s genuine love of the hobby, and unrivalled comping know-how, helps to give Compers News its unique edge. And nothing gives him greater pleasure than seeing Compers News readers win some truly great prizes! Subscribers know that they can contact him at any time for help or advice, and he regularly joins in the fun on Chatterbox. So why not join him – and us – today?

About Compers News

Launched in 2001, Compers News is a no-nonsense newsletter crammed with the details of every UK competition and prize draw worth knowing about. No photos. No waffle. No superfluous fillers. And ALWAYS with around 350 competitions and prize draws featured every single month. Guaranteed!

If you already subscribe to a similar listings magazine, count the competitions listed inside – then compare the total to what Compers News offers. We think you’ll be surprised!

The current editor, Steve Middleton, is a GENUINE comper who’s been entering and winning competitions for over 30 years. He uses his unrivalled experience to ensure that Compers News remains an indispensable guide for anyone who takes their hobby seriously – from keen beginner to accomplished winner.

Compers News offers a UNIQUE mix of competitions in every issue, and we don’t rely on second or third-hand information like some other titles either! Our editor is out most days hunting down new comps, and he personally buys and checks a huge selection magazines for comps every month, to save Compers News subscribers the time - and money!

And what about Slogan competitions, those great little tests of skill that give you the BEST chance of a prize but which most compers will tell you are sadly on the way out? Yes, you’ve guessed it, there are now MORE in Compers News each month than any other comping magazine.

Don’t believe me? Take a look at the facts

A grand total of 387 competitions and prize draws were featured in one recent issue of Compers News… including over SIXTY requiring a slogan or other genuine skill task to enter!

Compers News really DOES give you the best winning chance, and our readers prove it by consistently scooping the BIGGEST prizes. Remember the big Cif kitchen promotion? Out of the 62 £10,000 kitchens up for grabs, Compers News readers grabbed THIRTEEN of them! A Foster's Lager draw to win an amazing 30 trips to Australia with AUS$1,000 to spend saw SEVENTEEN Compers News readers striking lucky! Or what about the Capri Sun 'holiday a day' text-to-win where, thanks to our early tip-off, Compers News readers won EVERY SINGLE PRIZE ON OFFER during the first 8 days! Throw in individual mega wins including £99,000 cash and £50,000 cash, a £50,000 yacht, and more than 140 cars (and counting!) between us, and it's easy to see how our readers smash the £100,000 prize barrier most months! And don’t think that the amazing prizes listed here are isolated examples, collected over many months and years to make Compers News sound better than it actually is – our readers tell us about HUNDREDS of prizes every single month, and we proudly list the very best on the front cover of every issue to encourage and inspire all of our readers.
