About Hidden Finds
Our Story - Celebrating Britain's Independent Businesses
Hidden Finds was created with one simple belief: Britain's best businesses aren't always the biggest.
They're the family-run cafés, artisan makers, farm shops, independent shops, galleries, workshops and unique places that bring character to our towns, villages and countryside.
They're built on passion, hard work and genuine customer care.
Yet too often, they're overlooked in favour of bigger brands with bigger marketing budgets.
We believe these businesses deserve to be discovered.
That's why Hidden Finds exists.
Why I Created Hidden Finds
For more than 10 years, I've had the privilege of working with many small and independent businesses, helping them build websites, improve their online presence and attract more customers.
During that time, I've met countless passionate business owners doing extraordinary things, often with limited time and even smaller marketing budgets.
What they've all had in common is a genuine commitment to quality, customer service and creating something they're proud of.
Hidden Finds was born from a desire to help those businesses become easier to discover and to give them the recognition they truly deserve.
More Than a Recommendation
Every business we feature has a story.
The people behind the counter.
The maker in the workshop.
The family who have spent years building something they're proud of.
We're passionate about celebrating those stories and helping more people discover the independent businesses that make Britain such a wonderful place to explore.
Carefully Curated
Hidden Finds isn't about featuring thousands of businesses.
We're building a carefully curated collection of places we'd genuinely recommend to our own friends and family.
Businesses with character.
Businesses with heart.
Businesses you'll remember long after you've visited.
Looking Ahead
We're starting our journey by working with a small group of 20 Founding Businesses who share our values and our passion for exceptional customer experiences.
Together, we're building a community that celebrates quality, craftsmanship and the people behind Britain's most remarkable independent businesses.
We hope you'll enjoy discovering them as much as we've enjoyed finding them.
