Otta's take on Utility Warehouse
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Utility Warehouse provides customers with all their home services – including energy, broadband, mobile and insurance – in one simple, monthly bill. The company argues that this all-in-one approach ‘makes budgeting so much easier’ for customers, which is paired with a strong customer services record.
They currently have around 635,000 customers across the services they sell, many of whom were acquired from Npower in 2013. This made Utility Warehouse one of the largest energy providers outside the 'Big 6' but, they must grow even faster to compete with other challengers like Octopus and Bulb.
Utility Warehouse doesn’t advertise heavily, but relies on its 40,000 partners (or agents) who are given incentives to sign up new customers.

Company values
- We deliver quickly by keeping processes light and enabling autonomy, happy in the knowledge people will be challenged on their ideas
- We’ve never believed in ivory tower leadership, our Leadership team are hands-on and roll up their sleeves when needed, who mentor and support not only from a technical standpoint
- We value the right work/ life balance. A lot of us have families and anyone that’s been on that journey will tell you its unpredictable and requires flexibility
- We don’t appreciate egos, shouting the loudest doesn’t make your idea the best instead we believe in debate, collaboration and learning
- We encourage experimenting, seeing failure as learning, believing it’s about being pragmatic and achieving a balance between speed and quality
- We believe that not every industry or product has to be exciting on the outside for the challenge to be interesting. We care about how we deliver and who we work with, we enjoy working on interesting problems with smart people and that if it was easy it wouldn't be fun
