The Utility Warehouse Discount Club

Dear Lothian Machinery Ring Member,

My name is Sarah Fleming,
I am a local business owner and a member of the Lothian Machinery Ring Ltd. I am writing to yourself to advise how I have found to save money on my bills and those of other businesses and I would like to tell you about it, so if you would like to pay less each month please read on.
I am a member of the Utility Warehouse Discount Club. They provide phone broadband, mobile phone, gas and electricity to over 250,000 businesses and homes across the UK. They are part of a company called Telecom Plus PLC; a British PLC listed in the FTSE 250 index and licensed by Ofgem. You probably haven’t heard of them before. That is because they don’t advertise – they rely on people like me to tell other people about them. Because they don’t advertise, they save lots of money and they pass those savings on to their customers by charging less for their services.
Here are some of the benefits:
Save up to 45% on your call charges
Save up to 10% on your line rental
Save up to 20% on your broadband costs
Best value broadband and phone package, with up to 24 Meg broadband,
dependant on line
Cheaper gas and electricity, with no minimum contract term
5% Cash back on your shopping and personal petrol
Supplementary phone lines from £2.00 per month
Everything comes on one convenient monthly bill

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s no minimum contract on most of the services they provide, so if you are not totally happy with the money you save and their award- winning UK-based customer service team… you can go back to your current supplier’s higher prices at any time!
If you would like to hear more about the benefits of The Utility Warehouse Discount Club, please let the ring office know and we will ask Sarah to contact you.   back
