Utilita Energy Hub invites local footie fans to meet top Hibs players today

Hibs players will be visiting Utilita’s exclusive high street Energy Hub in the buzzing port district of Leith this afternoon.  Members of the club’s first team are set to arrive at 3.30pm for fan photos and a signing session.

Utilita Energy Expert, Caitlin Allardice, said: “We’re proud to support a number of football initiatives, including Football Rebooted, Switch Before Pitch, and the Utilita Kids and Girls Cups, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the Hibs players to our Energy Hub in Newkirkgate Shopping Centre.

“We’ll be offering a game of keepy-uppy for the children to take part in during the school holidays and the winner will score themselves a Hibs football. The first 20 kids to take part will each be given a colouring kit which comes in a Utilita branded football boots bag. Green sweeties and green apples will also be available on the day and we hope a good time will be had by all!

“As well as giving youngsters the opportunity to take selfies with the Hibs players, their grown-ups can also benefit from free and simple energy advice to help make their energy spend go further. So why not swing by this Wednesday afternoon for a cuppa and some top tips on how to cut energy usage at home?”

Winner of the Utilita Energy Hub Christmas Raffle is revealed

AND THE WINNER IS …

Staff at Utilita’s Energy Hub, located at Leith’s Newkirkgate Shopping Centre, would like to thank all customers who entered into this year’s Christmas Raffle.

The team raises funds throughout the year and were able to kindly gift back to the local Leith Community, having bought items worth £250.00 to create a Christmas food hamper raffle.

In the spirit of festive giving, raffle tickets were gifted to the Hub’s regular customers in a free to enter draw and Natasha Baillie, Leith Energy Hub Supervisorwas delighted to present a beautiful hamper to the raffle winner, Mr. Potter, a regular customer who tops up and pays his bills at the Hub.

Natasha said: “Mr. Potter was so delighted with the news that he called us his angels! He popped down and was so happy and emotional at the win. Mr. Potter did tell us to choose what we wanted but we managed to convince him otherwise, so he’s going to share the hamper with his neighbours! 

“It’s something we have very luckily been able to do each year – and our previous winners still visit our Leith Hub, which is lovely to see.”

Utilita’s high street hubs make it super simple to manage your energy – no phone lines or online dashboards, just a friendly face to speak to.
