Vanessa Blackledge
Utility Warehouse - Authorised Partner
MorcombelakeAbout Vanessa
Speak to me to discover how you can save on your bills and unlock the UK’s cheapest energy, or start earning as a Partner. I am a mum of three, live in Dorset near Lyme Regis, and I have been a very happy Partner of UW for 13 years now. My background was actually in engineering, but after having had my three children, I was looking for something more flexible to enable me to cut down on my travelling time. This has fitted perfectly. I love helping people in any way I can, and also the fact that we grow by word of mouth. I am very happy to visit potential customers or new Partners face-to-face, or we can also do a remote appointment. I have lived in Dorset for over 30 years, know the area really well, and absolutely love the social side of the business too.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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:
- If you're switching to us from Virgin Media, or;
- You have an Full Fibre (FTTP) service with another provider who doesn't use the Openreach network (see below).
- If you currently don't have Full Fibre (FTTP) broadband with another provider and want to take a Full Fibre (FTTP) tariff with us.
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.
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.

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
- Unlimited+ Multi-SIM Deal: First SIM £23/month, Additional SIMs only £8/month
- Essential SIM Deal for just £13/month**
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.
