Hi everyone,
A very warm welcome to the Utilita Community. Iβm Rebecca and I am your Community Manager ππ
Itβs my job as Community Manager to help make sure our Community is a welcoming, friendly and supportive place for you β I am always happy to help and am here weekdays.
So, a little more about me β I have worked for Utilita for 6 years, and absolutely love working here. I have always had a passion for Customer Experience. In my spare time, I love to watch re-runs of F.R.I.E.N.D.S, cook, and Iβve been a skier since the age of 11. I enjoy chick-flick classic films such as Legally Blonde and The Devil Wears Prada, however I am also a massive fan of Marvel films!
Iβd really love to hear from all of you, so if youβd like to, please say hello below in this thread, and here are a few ideas to get you going:
- Your first name
- Any interests you have
- How long you have been a customer with Utilita (or if you are a non-customer & wanted to come and check out the Community)
Iβm really looking forward to getting to know you all better and hearing your feedback/input within the Community moving forward.
Thanks,
Rebecca

@Debsvance a very warm welcome Debbie ππ
So delighted to have you as a member of our brand new Utilita Community! 3 years is a very long time, and we really do value you as a loyal customer! How wonderful, I also love doing DIY, I currently have replaced the internal doors in my home, and am in the middle of priming and painting them all, it never seems to end - then all the door frames are starting to look yellow now the doors are freshly white, so they are next! I do love it though and it's a great task to do whilst we are all locked in! I'm a Celeb is so good isn't it!? Jordan is my favorite, he makes me giggle!
As mentioned, I am thrilled to have you as a member, and look forward to chatting and getting to know you more! π
Thanks,
Rebecca -

Takecare -
01-12-20Rebecca
@Debsvance Haha that's OK, you can make the cuppas and be the 'creative director' π What colour are you painting them? I bet your daughter will be chuffed!
I agree, Jordan to win for sure - there are some great challenges for you to catch up on! I also love The Undoing on SKY Atlantic. We currently have a 'Movie and TV Series recommendations' thread going over on the 'Off Topic board'. If there is anything else you are really enjoying and recommend, we'd love to hear about it and I am sure the rest of the community would!

02-12-20Rebecca
@Robin Hi Robin - so pleased to have you as a new member of our brand new Utilita Community. As one of the first members of our soft launch, I am delighted to have you here.
How long have you been a customer for? I'd also love to know more about your interests and hobbies?
Thanks,
Rebecca -
02-12-20Robin
Nice to talk to you, you are a delightful young lady and very easy to chat to we both enjoyed our exchange. I now understand why the forum is not heaving with people and understand it needs to grow.
I will be thinking how it can be improved and made a more beneficial place for the members. -
02-12-20Rebecca
@Robin Thank you Robin that's so nice to hear, I am glad to enjoyed our chat and I really liked getting to know you and your wife a little better and explain how the Community works. Have you got any hobbies or interests that you enjoy?
Thanks,
Rebecca -
02-12-20Robin
I am into computers as it is something I can still do even with my wonky arm and hand the D.I.Y. has now taken a back seat to a great extent though I don't like being beaten so give some stuff a go still when I can.
Developing my TV set up just now to give me more choice will have to see how that progresses, it will be slow and some set backs expected but it should be interesting. Was going to Ireland last summer but with the COVID never happened, have put it off but not cancelled it so we will see what 2021 throws up LOL. -
03-12-20Russell
@Robin Hi Robin, it's great that a continued use of your computer even with your wonky arm has meant you can join us here in the Community, and don't overdo it with the DIY!! Great that you are still looking forward to your holiday once COVID has been dealt with, always light at the end of the tunnel ο
-
03-12-20Rebecca
@Robin Glad to hear that DIY is still something you attempt π , and I am so glad you don't let it get the better of you. As we were saying, it's a case of having to adapt to what you have. I think you're an inspiration. π
I think you'd really be interested in a new thread we have posted today, which explains how we are working with a company called D&A to help our staff gauge a better understand of diversity and ability, to ensure we are inclusive of all customers and every single need within our customer base. Go and check it out here and we'd love you to share your thoughts: https://community.utilita.co.uk/thre...h-Disabilities

Welcome @Tillymint π€
I am so thrilled to have you as a member of our brand new Utilita Community. As a new member, you can take a look around at the current topic boards and threads within these and let us know if there is anything that is missing that you'd love us to add. Or even better, you can start your own thread within your chosen topic board!
Great to hear you love a brew, I have a feeling we will get on very well with that in common alone! I also love walking, it's especially great with the lockdown rules, as a way to get outside, exercise and to also see nature!
I can't wait to get to know you better, and I am sure the rest of the community will agree.
Look forward to hearing more from you!
Rebecca πΊ (a cat emoji because you mentioned you love cats!) -

@Naruto1234 Hello! Glad to meet you James! I am Rebecca, your Community Manager! π

Great to hear you love to meet and chat to new people, you will fit in very well here!
Do take a look around the topic boards and threads within them, and start new chats and threads whenever you want!
Is there anything that's missing you'd like to see? Let me know!
You can also start a off topic conversation at any time - perhaps a book, recipe, video game, bit of tech that you have been enjoying? Head to our 'Off Topic' board here: https://community.utilita.co.uk/forums/8-Off-Topic

04-12-20HuckleberryHi Its Fran here, Great to be able to join this group,
Hi Its Fran,
Great to be welcomed to this group.
I live near Chichester, love the shopping there. My hobbies are horseracing, watching the F1, photography and gardening - the gardening became enforced as we all have to spend so much time at home. -
04-12-20Rebecca
@Huckleberry π Nice to meet you! Oh the F1 is brilliant! I totally agree with the gardening, it's such a lovely thing to get into if you have a garden, and also is a nice escape from everything happening with the pandemic.
Look forward to getting to know you better!
Check out our off topic board, there's currently a conversation going on favourite lockdown movies/series! Go to: https://community.utilita.co.uk/threads/37-What-movies-or-series-have-you-been-enjoying-over-lockdown?p=107#post107

Hello π
I'm new to this forum and forums in general really, though this year I've been using them more and more. Sometimes the answer you need is already there which is really handy!
My names Marissa, I've recently moved to Bristol and I'm a creative person. I've spent most of my lockdown painting, baking and growing carnivorous plants.
I hope everyone has been staying safe and keeping warm π -

Hi I live in East Yorkshire and have been a customer for a while now, I do like music and reading and slightly obsessed with having a clean house π. I have a beautiful daughter who is doing really well at University and two little nephews who are non identical twins π.
-
09-12-20Rebecca
@Anna Oh lovely! Yorkshire is on my list to visit again, I have been to Richmond in North Yorkshire and it was stunning. Ohhh if you like reading I have just finished such a wonderful book called 'Where the Crawdads Sing' and it was so enjoyable and such a good plot/twist! I know the feeling of loving a clean house, especially with us all being stuck in more, I think you want to make it a nice place to be, there are so many people I know that are doing renovations and home improvements too, including myself! Oh lovely news about your daughter, what is she studying? Your twin nephews sound adorable! If you ate able to see them at Christmas I bet they will make it extra special! π
-
09-12-20Anna
Yes my daughter is studying English and has just started her 2nd term, my nephews are a handful but so cute, they have just turned 2. Ill have to find that book and read it as it sounds good π

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for being our first Community Members - can you believe we have only been up and running for six weeks! I have loved chatting and getting to know you all, and cannot wait for the community to grow in the new year and for us all to have even more members to add to our wonderful Utilita Community!
I hope you all have a wonderful festive break, and send my love to those of you in tier 4. I have posted a helpful thread on Support Lines over Christmas for anyone struggling or needing support.
Warmest wishes,
Rebecca, your Community Manager -
