Barclay James LittlewoodGRO Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1837 – 1983 (born 1978 in Huddersfield) is a Britishentrepreneur who sells essays and other academic work over the internet to students in the UK, USA and Western Europe.
His companies claim to offer work of a quantifiable academic standard - 2:1 and 1st Class level - that is unpublished and scanned using university plagiarism detection software.
The sale of academic work by Littlewood's and other companies has proved controversial and there have been frequent accusations in the media, especially from universities, that Littlewood's businesses encourage plagiarism.
