What's that got to do with UTW ?

Sounds good happyholder123, but you don't give a source.

Lookig bit goodish for run to 90p

[luckymouse] 03/9/2017 09:55

It was a guess based on the co's own new profit booking restrictions. Hard to imagine they wont have passed them along. There is a website (glassdoor or smth) which gives some employee intel you cld try.

Luckymouse,Have you any confirmation that's the case (regards the slashing of bonuses) or is just a hypothesis to explain the exodus?

[bennywin] 02/9/2017 08:10

A recent post by UTW said that they were advertising for 200 new sales positions.
Make of it what you will.

[luckymouse] 02/9/2017 08:05

Not sure you read my post - if they slashed the bonuses to bring it in line cld be a whole new sales team for this new phase.

[cockerhoop] 01/9/2017 14:26

We know that's the case from the attrition rates of the last 2 years (39% in 2015 and 25% in 2016) looks like the problems of 2017 haven't made it an easier place to work especially since the over estimating energy usage to improve commission scam has been curtailed by the suppliers.

[bennywin] 01/9/2017 14:02

Doesn't read well.

Perhaps BF is getting rid of the dead wood, or perhaps people don't like working there.

Either way, its not a great state of affairs.

[cockerhoop] 01/9/2017 09:08

LuckyMouse,

From our conversation regarding whether jobs were new or replacements.

I note that the number of sales consultants has dropped from 661 at the time of the Interims to 550 at the last trading update. Pretty 'emphatic' reduction in approx 6 months, even more stark if they were recruiting in parallel.

[eipgam] 28/8/2017 15:09

Nor me. But....

[bennywin] 27/8/2017 15:45

I note the second comment from the Chrinicle article has now been removed .

I'm not surprised.

[bennywin] 25/8/2017 14:47

The first of those two comments on the chronicle article provides a plausible possibility.

The second poster is more than likely going to find himself in a whole heap of trouble.

[eipgam] 25/8/2017 13:54

The Chronicle story above has been updated to reflect the new press release. It also now carries a couple of comments from readers (local to UTW in Newcastle).

[bennywin] 25/8/2017 13:18

I have to say , I am getting confused.

Statement from UTW today

www.utilitywise.com/2017/08/25/utilitywise-response-to-media-coverage/?utm_campaign=PR&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social


If my memory serves me corre4ctly, a previous update stated that UTW was pushing to recruit extra sales people and a recent tweet was advertising 200 extra sales jobs.



Something doesn't add up !

[tsmith2] 24/8/2017 07:53

Looks pretty good to me too, but really had to laugh at this bit:

"Brendan Flattery, CEO of Utilitywise, commented:
"Although the Company endured some headwinds in the period which impacted our financial performance in the short term...."

Endured some headwinds!!

[nurdin] 24/8/2017 07:27

[tsmith2] 24/8/2017 07:25
