They literally started out as a chat over a couple of pints.
Their parent company, Telecom Plus, was founded in 1996 & operated from a pub in Henley-on-Thames. But their ambitions didn’t keep them small for long – the business grew fast, and was soon listed on the London Stock Exchange and added to the FTSE 250 Index.
Telecom Plus’s flagship product was the Smart Box: a device that plugged into phone sockets to route calls to networks. Spotting an opportunity to provide a wider range of solutions to homes across the UK, Utility Warehouse was founded in Colindale, North London, in 2002 to bring affordable Energy, Broadband, and Telephone services to customers.
Since then, they’ve launched the UW Foundation, which strives to make positive changes for the environment and local communities, in March 2024, they reached their milestone target of helping more than one million customers save time and money on their home utility bills.
Now they're well on their way to 2 million!!
