I have flexibility over my diary and do not need to work long hours. I absolutely love what I’m doing. It means I can have more quality time with my family, go on holidays for weeks at a time, and visit my family abroad as often as I like. Best of all, I feel genuine satisfaction every time my customers save money on their household bills and my team members get promotions. I enjoy doing Tai Chi, Qigong and good food, as well as helping my team members and customers.
I can help you with any questions you might have that need answering, to help you choose. I can help you with the presentation showing you the benefits of joining UW. I’m a Reading based local. Give me a call and I will be happy to help you.
I was a London police officer, and more recently a NHS worker, but unfortunately they didn’t allow flexibility around family life. But since being introduced to UW, I have complete flexibility around my family. It is so rewarding, because I can help people get through the cost of living crisis. I’m on a mission to introduce everybody to UW, and with my support I can show you there is an alternative to the rat race. UW can significantly boost your income, and it will give you time freedom to do the things you love! If you want to build a legacy for your future, then let’s start now. Get in touch with me today.
Our Partners make money in Reading by referring others to UW so they can sign up as customers. It's a flexible way to earn extra money and get a passive income.
You can earn up to £250 for every person you help sign up to UW, plus a whole host of other benefits like holidays, hampers, events and more!
More than a million households have switched to UW, putting an end to wasting time and money on bills.
If you switch three or more services and use our Cashback Card, but don’t see savings in your first year, we'll pay you double the difference back.
We get it. Utilities aren't high on the list of things you want to think about, but thankfully we've got a quick fix. Simply switch your energy to UW and pair it with our broadband or mobile plans to unlock our great value UW Fixed tariff at just £1,685.
Add one more service, and you'll get the UK's cheapest fixed tariff with our UW Fixed Saver at just £1,625. That's almost £100 cheaper than the January price cap.
Here's the good bit – you make money by helping people save on their household bills. At UW, we offer energy, broadband, mobile, home insurance and boiler home cover all into one handy bill cutting out the hassle spent doing boring admin, and giving competitive rates.
As a Partner you're an independent distributor, your role is to recommend our services, helping people switch to UW. Whether it's a casual chat, virtual meetings, or reaching out to new contacts - it's your choice how you do it.
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 (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.
There are over 60,000 Partners at UW, and each joined for a different reason – whether it's adding to their pension pot, funding passion projects, earning a bit of extra cash to spend on fun things each month.
But the best way to answer the question 'why should I join UW?' is by getting in touch with a Partner local to you and letting them do the talking.
Every time a customer you refer signs up you can earn both a Customer Bonus and a Residual Income.
The customer bonus is a payment made to you as soon as someone you refer signs up - up to £250 for every multiservice homeowner.
The other way you can earn as a partner is Residual Income. Think of this a bit like royalties: Once someone you refer signs up, you'll get a % of their monthly bill paid to you as a monthly commission for as long as they remain a UW customer.
No, we'll contact your energy provider to let them know about your move.
After a few weeks, we'll ask you for meter readings, at which point we'll start billing you for your energy, and your current supplier will stop (so you won't pay for the same energy twice). Your old supplier will then arrange to send you a final invoice.
Normally we can let your current provider know you're switching to UW, so you don't have to. But there are some scenarios where you'll have to contact your current provider:
We recommend you wait until your UW broadband is live before you cancel your old broadband service to reduce the risk of having no broadband for a period of time.
The speed available on your line can be affected by:
The actual speed you receive can be affected by:

Yes, you can. But you'll need to make sure your router isn't locked by your previous provider.
When you sign up to us, we'll send you your username and password, so you connect your own router. With our superfast fibre-optic Ultra Broadband options, your router needs to be Very High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) compatible. If it's not, it won't work with our broadband service.
If you need a router, we can send you one too.
Information on UW router can be found here : Whole Home Wi-Fi systems
A SIM only deal gives you data, minutes and texts for a monthly cost. The difference, however, is that you don't get a new phone – you get the SIM, and just the SIM. Pick the SIM Only Deals with simple options
Of course. You can use our SIMs with any unlocked handset or, as we work with EE, any phone on the EE network too.

Yep, simply contact your previous network provider or text 'PAC' to 65075 to get a code which will allow you to bring your current number over to your new SIM. This won't disrupt your service either.
