G4S read gas meter?

Hi

I just had a guy from G4S come to read my gas meter. I have never heard of them, is this a new energy company?

  • Im just asking because I have been unable to find out who my gas supplier is for a year now, I was kinda hoping this might have been the issued resolved.

    No they are a meter reading and meter maintainer but the gas supplier will have asked them to read the meter.

  • So I might finally get a bill for my gas after a year?

    To find out who your gas supplier is, simply call the Meter Point Administration Service line on 0870 608 1524.

    Unless the address was registered wrongly when the supply was installed. Or you're in an area run by an Indipendent Gas Transporter rather than National Grid. Or your supply is a shipperless site...

    ...which is why the OP needs to give more info, rather than sitting and waiting for the mother of all gas bills...
