The people behind K2n
K2n Ltd. was set up in 2003 as the brainchild of Ian and Andy Knight. The company allowed the brothers to exploit their in-depth skills in Computing, Business and Energy to produce the Energy & Water Management system two years later. This process was significantly enhanced when Andy Brown joined in 2004 bringing strong design, programming and infrastructure skills into the mix.
A major motivating factor driving the company is the potential for large environmental benefits if there was substantial use of our application in the UK public and private sectors.
