Our take
Budgeting for a household is no easy task, especially when you've got to keep track of various bills from different providers. That's why Utility Warehouse provides customers with all their home services – including energy, broadband, mobile and insurance – in one simple, monthly bill.
The company says that this all-in-one approach ‘makes budgeting so much easier’ for customers, which is backed up by a strong customer services record. Though it does not advertise heavily, its partners are given incentives to sign up new customers, which has contributed to its impressive growth thus far.
Boasting over 1 million customers across the services they sell, Utility Warehouse is one of the largest energy providers outside the 'Big 6'. Its unique approach, and established footing in the market, should ensure it continues to compete with other challengers as the utilities sector further evolves.
