Join UW / Utility Warehouse / UW / Full-Time Employment
Employment suits many people, but others reach a point where they want more flexibility, an additional income stream or a different way to build their future around family, lifestyle or personal goals. Utility Warehouse may be worth exploring if you are interested in a self-employed, home-based opportunity that can be developed alongside existing work rather than replacing a job immediately. This page brings together helpful resources about the Utility Warehouse opportunity, becoming a Utility Warehouse Partner, exploring a job alternative and creating more choice through flexible working.
For anyone comparing employment with a flexible business opportunity, it is important to think realistically about income, time, training, support and the level of consistent activity required. UW Partners can learn how to recommend essential household services, build customer relationships and develop a business at their own pace, but results will vary depending on personal effort and circumstances. You may find it useful to compare related pages on career alternative, flexible income, second income jobs, working from home and getting started as a UW Partner. For wider UK guidance on becoming self-employed, GOV.UK’s information on working for yourself is also a useful independent reference before making any major decisions.
