My name is Robin Hodson, and I have worked for
Betterware™ since late May
2006AD, and previously for six months in 2003AD, and a year in 1998AD.
I come from bath, I live in
Chippenham, and I visit bath and Swindon irregularly.
Among my many other talents, I am now working as a Catalogue Distributor. (One of those poor sods collecting door-to-door in the rain.)
I am in voluntary resignation from Betterware, until the start of Autumn 2007AD. This is due to bad debtors running off with my budget. I need to take drastic measures to clear time for intensive earning, such as selling my body to medical research (again), and other types of work that I cannot do on the streets. You can still Order and view the latest Catelogues through the online Shop. I shall continue to update this website, and to pass on any queries left on my voicemail. For the time being I am winding-down my coverage of the Monkton Park area, where there will shortly be a vacancy. I will continue to perform non-"bookwork" for betterware, on a causual basis.
My "area" is parts of north and central Chippenham, NW Wilts. You can have a look at little highlighted maps, if you like. (Currently in transfer, premises resecured.) (My prior area was parts of Chippenham and Wootton Bassett, a nice little town with too many double letters near, but not too near, Swindon.)
This internet address is on the forms inside the Betterware™
Brouchures I distribute.

site that has been online since 2000AD.
If you have any queries, please look at the
Frequently Answered Questions first.
Delays sometimes occur, largely due to there only being one Distributor per Round, and their usually having other things to do as well. Be assured though, the more delay there is, the faster I work (and more I panic) to catch up again. Delays are particulary bad around Christmas and the Folk Festival, due to external temporal disruption, useful in itself though it is.
If your Catalogue is not picked up for three weeks, perhaps due to me falling ill or facing a monsterous rearing backlog for instance, then it generally won't be, because they'll be another Round in six weeks time, and it is sensible to cut loses at that sort of point.
Fortunately, now I have moved operations to a new facility, former disruptions are over.

 Betterware is a founder member
of the Direct Selling Association (DSA).
|  The DSA's
leaflet "Shopping At Home" (which I must
provide on request anyway). I have converted it to web format, so
you do not need to download anything to view it, and also it is now
accessible to disabled and/or poorer customers, which has to help.
