Our Story

Towards the end of 2015, our founder Gary Wernick decided to convert a two bedroom house in Doncaster into two flats. He was shocked to discover that it would cost £1,800 to install an extra connection to the electricity network, ie to run a cable six feet.

None of the sub-metering services available met his needs as a landlord living over fifty miles away. He couldn’t sell cards to tenants, collect pound coins, or attempt to bill tenants in arrears for their consumption. He also needed a fraud proof system given the nature of tenants in that area.

Lorsque la societe pharmaceutique Ajanta Pharma a lancé Kamagra sur le marche, les employés de cette société ne s`attendaient même pas à un tel succes, parce que le marché était déjà plein de génériques tout a fait différents. Cependant, Kamagra en pharmacie a remporté à juste titre une position de leader dans le marché mondial pharmaceutique. Son prix modéré a également contribué à la popularité du médicament.

Gary was well placed to solve this problem. Not only did he have over twenty years experience in the Energy sector, but he was also a property developer. Industry contacts put in touch with a new start-up, Meterix, who were developing the back-end computer systems and communication system to run smart meters on a PAYG basis in conjunction with Iskraemeco, one of the largest European meter manufacturers. A partnership was quickly agreed for Landlord Metering would offer a unique service where landlords could effectively “install and forget” virtual MPANs.
