Morrison Data Services, a leading data services provider to energy and water utility retailers in the UK and Ireland, has been appointed to deliver nationwide meter reading services on behalf of E.ON.

The four-year agreement will begin on 1 September 2020 and also includes an extension to Morrison Data Services’ existing ‘out of area’ meter reading contract with E.ON.

As part of the mobilisation, a number of people will join Morrison Data Services to increase the scale of its meter reading team.

Morrison Data Services Managing Director Simon Best commented:

“We have continued to invest heavily in meter reading activity as we believe that we can help energy retailers achieve cost and efficiency improvements in a rapidly changing marketplace. This contract award extends the relationship that we have with E.ON which dates back over 10 years and adds further momentum to our ongoing growth plans. We look forward to welcoming our new colleagues to MDS.”

Matt Hardcastle, Morrison Data Services Director of Data Collection, added:

“As the UK’s leading energy meter reading provider we have significantly invested over the last 12 months in our technology and processes to ensure we deliver a high class service to all our customers. This award from E.ON is testament to our hard work and demonstrates that our approach to future delivery is well regarded in the industry.”
