The Glasgow-based gas meter technology specialist increased underlying profits to £2.9 million in the six months to June, compared with £1.5m in the same period last year, helped by a series of contract wins.

The AIM-listed company has benefited from increased investment in gas meters by suppliers who are preparing for regulatory changes. These will require the mass roll-out of smart meters from 2014 in support of official efforts to cut carbon emissions.
