Original article

Several years ago, I created a page covering this subject, which was speedily deleted (twice, thanks to not being able to reply quickly enough) due to misinterpretation, I think. There was a lot of material which is not here. What I did want to say, with regard to the notability criticism, is that this is the largest direct sales company in the UK, and the only one which is not MLM, and thus the only one operating legally. It also means that the people it employs in the lowest positions are not self-employed. The reason I created the original article, is that I felt it strange there was no mention of such a large and well-known company, and also so information on what it is up to could be added. Much is mysterious from the point of view of various stakeholders, eg warehouse workers, distributors, customers, competitors, and so forth. REH11 (talk) 01:12, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Extensive revision

These revisions are based on correcting & extending existing info.

Removed "Betterware is the registered trademark of Stanley House Distribution Limited". There are many companies house registrations and trademarks associated with this organisation, as is common with other large companies. Betterware plc is the holding company. Stanley House is the name of its HQ.
Removed "door to door", as that is cold calling or canvassing, not direct sales.
Removed claim that it went bust in 1983 - no record of this in the link provided. Changed name change to 1970, as recorded on the company website.
Removed repetition from list of products.
Removed information claiming to be a franchise. It is only a franchise for tax purposes; it operates as a single company.
Altered brand selling to subsidiaries. Altered Europe to Spain.
Removed false link to "Betterware Southwest", which appears to be something else.
Removed reference to Kleeneze. Although they have a "cola wars" relationship, I don't see how that's relevant.
Paragraph on pay structure added, to emphasise difference from MLMs, without mentioning them and hopefully avoiding getting dragged into an argument.
Updated address info to Hurricane Park, Bromford.

I would like to declare that I did work for this company, but only at the lowest position, not in PR, and I consider myself impartial as I no longer work for them. I have some knowledge of their working practices. REH11 (talk) 02:22, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No encuentro refacciones

No encuentro empaques para la bomba para garrafón de agua, sus distribuidores dicen que no las venden por separado, si es el caso deberían nombrar sus productos desechables. 2806:107E:20:5D09:49EF:AD58:1E29:8F0F (talk) 19:45, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
