With household costs continuing to rise, a new local business is helping people in Kent cut their monthly bills while also opening the door for flexible work opportunities for those needing a better work–life balance.

Local resident Gill Pont has launched a new business as a partner with Utility Warehouse, a FTSE 250 listed UK company that has been operating for 28 years and serves more than 1.4 million customers. Through her new venture, Gill helps households reduce the cost of essential services—such as energy, broadband, and mobile—by bundling them into a single, more affordable package. A former accountant, she brings many years of financial expertise along with a strong passion for helping people manage their money more effectively.

Gill works directly with customers to review their household bills and identify opportunities to save and simplify their admin. Customers joining through her service are currently saving an average of £600 per year (max savings so far £1200/yr!), while also receiving up to £150 cashback and support with exit fees of up to £400 when switching.

After many years working in accountancy, Gill was drawn to the Utility Warehouse model because of its simple mission: helping households reduce the cost of everyday living.

“I initially thought it sounded too good to be true,” Gill explains. “But once I understood the model and saw the genuine savings people were achieving, I realised how valuable it could be - especially with the pressure so many households are under right now.”

Utility Warehouse offers a unique bundled services model, allowing customers to combine services such as energy, broadband, mobile and other utilities under one provider. By doing this, customers can unlock exclusive discounts and cashback rewards while simplifying their monthly bills.

Gill also credits the opportunity with allowing her to work flexibly around a chronic illness, giving her the ability to manage her health while continuing to build a meaningful career.

“One of the biggest reasons I joined was the flexibility,” she says. “It allows me to work at my own pace and around my health, while still helping people save money and improve their financial situation.”

Beyond helping households save, Gill is passionate about creating opportunities for others who may need flexible work, including those managing health challenges, caring responsibilities or major life changes.

“I know first-hand how important flexibility can be. I’d love to help other people who may feel limited by traditional jobs find a way to earn extra income that works around their lives.”

Gill is also keen to work with local charities and community groups, helping them raise additional funds through partnerships and referrals connected to her Utility Warehouse business.

“My goal is not just to help individuals save money, but also to give something back locally,” she adds. “If charities can benefit from fundraising through the business while helping their supporters reduce their bills, that’s a real win for the community.”

With household costs remaining a key concern for many families, Gill hopes her new venture will make a meaningful difference across the local area — helping people save money, simplify their bills, and discover new flexible income opportunities.

Residents interested in learning more about saving on their utilities, or exploring the flexible partner opportunity, are encouraged to get in touch with Gill via the details below.

Local charities and community groups who would like to connect with Gill about potential fundraising opportunities are also invited to get in touch.
