UKW Newsletter

Dear  here's the latest news from the UK whitegoods website.

Of course this month we have been doing a lot of work on the engineer search facilty which now has details of over 1800 engineers across the UK and, growing.

We've set up the facility to allow you to manage your own details online, if you're not on already you can also now apply online and there are more features coming online soon. We'll keep you posted.

Today though we should be adding a few fields so that you can tell potential clients more about you, what you do and even if you will or won't accept contract work.

You can find out how to get listed in the search results here in this this thread, just ask in the forums for assistance or email us on admin@ukwhitegoods.co.uk.

If you're not listed on there then any work might be getting snapped up by your competition. And the search is used by a number of manufacturers, insurers etc. looking for agents.

Don't say we didn't tell you!

And, more good news, you can finally register machines online, get a reciept that the registration has been sent and, the system even sends your customer a copy.
