Saving You Money on Bills



Here’s the lovely Gemma who set up shop to save us all money on bills! She’s helps many people with great success, so here she is to tell us more about herself and her business.

I’ll be 40 this year! Married to Andrew for 8 years, we have 2 children, Walter 8 and Verity 6. I grew up here in Felixstowe and attended Deben High School. My first job was a paper round at Hammonds Newsagents on Hamilton Road, I then worked at Phoenix Fruiters also on Hamilton Road as a teenager. From there I got a job at Felixstowe Leisure Centre and went to catering collage to train as a chef. I also spent some time working in KFC and Hintlesham Hall.

At the age of 21, I was employed as a sales assistant at Hills Jewellers on Orwell Road and after 14 years of service and reaching a shop manger role, I fancied a new challenge and became a Health Care Worker at Felixstowe and Ipswich Hospital. After 18 months, I was offered an Office Manager position at Fairstep Solicitors on Hamilton Road, a fantastic independent solicitors practice which has been helping the town for over 40 years. I’ve been there since November 2017.

In January, I was shown something that has changed my life! I was introduced to UW (Utility Warehouse) after seeing all the benefits and savings I immediately signed up as a customer and soon after I joined as a partner in the company. This company helped us change our lives financially so that we had more money left in our bank account each month to do what we like with. In all my working life I have been grateful to have had jobs that have helped people in one way or another so joining this company was an easy decision for me as it meant I can help people to reduce the costs of their everyday essential services. I help people save time and money by getting all their home services in one, simple, monthly bill.

I work my business around my job at Fairstep and have plenty of time with my family. It was initially a face-to-face business where I would make appointments to see people in there homes or in a café, but since lockdown I have had to change the way I work. Luckily UW very quickly provided me with the technology to provide my customers with remote appointments, and when used along with FaceTime or Zoom, etc., I can easily help people to save without any physical contact. Many of us are obviously anxious about changing providers during these uncertain times, which is understandable, but it could also be the best time to change as most of us would like to be paying less for more right now.
