The ABC Solution, growing you, Part II

So we now have the website set up, the business is live, but where do we start, luckily with Utility Warehouse, it is all explained to you in several free training sessions, I believe the fee is worth the money alone just for the training and personal development, with a complete online training schedule and superb interactive training class rooms, it really can be a dummies guide to your new business.

But who do you have behind you and who says they are any good? The Company is Telecom Plus, based in North London, and operates only from this main office, it was founded in 1996 as a telecommunications business. Its first product, launched in 1997, which was a least cost call routing ‘Smart Box’, a gadget that plugs into a phone socket and then routes the calls to alternative networks at a cheaper rate than British Telecom Since then, the company has added to its portfolio: a full landline telephony service, mobile telephony (piggybacked on the T-Mobile network), broadband, gas and electricity (the company is licensed by OFGEM), and a Cash Back card (a pre-paid Mastercard).

To date, the business has grown to over 375,000 domestic and small-business customers, around 30,000 of whom are also Distributors, signing up new customers under a Multi-level marketing scheme in return for a residual income.

In March 2009 the Company was awarded the prestigious title of “Company of the Year” at the Quoted Company Awards annual dinner.

In February 2011, Which? magazine named the Utility Warehouse as the UK’s ‘Best Energy Supplier’ for the third year in a row. It also names the company Recommended Provider for Home Phone. Which? named the Utility Warehouse ‘Recommended Provider’ for Broadband in September 2010, and awarded it a ‘Best Buy’ for Home Phone and Broadband in Dec 2008, Feb 2010 (renewed in August 2010).

Trading as The Utility Warehouse, Telecom Plus has no shops and does not advertise on television or in the national press. The entire operation (including call centres) is based in North London, with around 450-500 staff.

So as you can see, this is something special, and at the presentation evenings you learn more about the people behind the business, but if you can’t wait just google Charles Wigoder.

BK Sameday moves into new distribution centre

BK Sameday moves into new distribution centre

BK Sameday have done it; hard work does pay off, several months of pounding the UK motorway’s, driving in the lovely countryside, town to town, building the reputation by doing the job with professionalism.

Now the fledgling Sameday Courier company has moved into a new distribution centre, based in Trench Lock, the new facilities have moved BK onto the next level, the move enables them to stock items for other businesses and to hold the deliveries overnight or until shipment is due.

It also enables them to offer cheaper delivery for people who are looking at shipping items but aren’t in a rush, with BK vans visiting most parts of the UK over the week, they ensure they will deliver at the cheaper rates when in that area.

Managing Director, Ben Coates said “I am building the business on honesty and hard work, I have understood the need for a new distribution unit, but finances have taken a while to build to such a level to sustain it, I have been under pressure at home from the wife as my garage has been packed, however of course I have been unable to hold certain items due to room and security, but because of this new premise will we hope attract new customers, who need reassurance that their goods can be bought in or shipped out with care and trust”

“We value every customer who comes on board, from the public to the biggest or corporates, we have done an array of jobs, from Morrison’s meat for its Christmas photo shoot, to a rather expensive coffee table for a boat down to Cornwall, and we protect their goods and ensure swift delivery, we also delivery samples to major supermarkets, including Sainsbury’s, and no matter how tempting, we never eat the sample food”

The move into the premise has taken place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the new address is BK Sameday, Unit 20, Trench Lock 3, Telford, TF1 5ST, to contact BK Sameday please call Ben on 07738 715038, or e-mail ben@bkbusinesssolutions.co.uk.
