Utility Warehouse (UW), through its philanthropic arm the UW Foundation, donated £18,000, or almost $23,000, to four local charities in its community of Selkirk. Charities who will receive these donations include The Lavender Touch, Borders Carers Centre, Stable Life and Borders Children’s Charity.
This charitable initiative was pledged as part of the company’s official opening of the new customer service hub within the town. UW selected the location for its customer service hub because of its concentration of people in the community with high levels of customer service experience in the energy industry. Forming this hub will allow UW to keep jobs locally within the area.
“We’re committed to investing in Selkirk and creating local jobs and long-term career opportunities with our new hub which will provide the very best support for our prepayment customers,” said Andrew Lindsay, Utility Warehouse Co-CEO. “We’re also delighted to donate £18,000 to four fantastic local charities and help support the wider community.”
