What our customers say

Addiewell

Hello there, I am Fraser Graham. I have been a UW Partner since March 2019. I work at UW full time and can accommodate most customer requirements in terms of times or whether they would like an in person visit or a zoom call. The best thing about running this business is the genuine difference I make to people’s financial life every single day.

Rosewell

Hi. Angela here, Thank you visiting my page. My UW journey began when I wanted to work part-time, so that I could help with child care for my grandchildren. They are my world. As a primary school teacher, my natural instinct was to help people. Being a UW Partner now allows me to help families by reducing their bills and making life just a little bit easier and so much simpler. Happy to chat with you with absolutely no obligation. It’s good to talk, right? ‍♀️

Bonnyrigg

I’m a father of three, husband, and grandfather that joined UW in 2006. I’ve worked as a bank manager, financial adviser and mortgage broker. I thought by doing these roles it would give me the financial freedom and security for my family. However, I soon realised this not to be the case. UW, on the other hand, gives me more time with the family, security of knowing what income is coming in every month (which can not be said for when I was self employed for years), and most importantly it leaves a legacy for my family. Any quality financial adviser will tell you – you need to protect your income today, whilst also protecting your family’s future. UW has done this for us and I help others do the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re the UK’s only genuine multiservice provider. We help people save on their household bills by bundling their energy, broadband, mobile and insurance into one. We offer guaranteed savings. We’re trusted by over 1,386,585 customers, rated Excellent on Trustpilot and are Which? Recommended.

UW Partners in and around are people just like you, who earn an extra income by introducing others to UW and helping them sign up as customers. They also help people to become a UW Partner and start earning an income by recommending UW to their friends and family.

Yes, of course – over 1,386,585 customers and 70,000 UW Partners already do. We’re also regulated by the energy regulator Ofgem, the telecoms regulator Ofcom, and the Financial Conduct Authority. We’ve been doing business for nearly three decades and are listed on the London Stock Exchange, which means we’re one of the UK’s largest publicly-owned companies.

You can earn up to £300 in upfront commission for every customer you help sign up to UW in and beyond. But your total earnings will depend on the effort you’re prepared to make – the more time you put in and the more people you introduce to UW, the more you’ll earn.

As well as upfront commission, you can also get paid a residual income, which is an incremental percentage of your customers’ bills for as long as they stay with UW. And if you choose to build your own team of Partners in and around , you’ll earn residual income from the customers that they sign up too.

Over time, this could mean you go from earning some extra cash working from home in to a serious additional income that can support major lifestyle choices.

It’s up to you – there are no targets, time limits or set hours. So you can fit being a UW Partner around your life and schedule, and do as much – or as little – as you want. What’s more, you’ll also get all the training you need and be part of an active and supportive community, so you don’t need any previous sales experience to join.

Good news – anyone can become a Partner. The only thing you need to join UW is a can-do spirit. And if you’re sitting there thinking, ‘but I know nothing about utilities!’ Fear not. Ensuring that every new starter feels fully supported and confident is a big priority for us. That’s why when you join we’ll give you everything you need to get up and running.

If you’re someone who enjoys chatting and helping people, then being a Partner will be right up your street. And if you know quite a few different groups of people in and around (friends, family, colleagues, sports clubs, societies) then you’re also already onto a winner.

Consider yourself a bit more of an introvert? Don’t you worry, there are loads of Partners who have made UW a success despite not being chatterboxes. Plus, the intro training covers all the different ways you can make UW work for you, whatever your skill set.
