TanyaEwing37Tanya is the co-founder of Tayeco and the inventor of Ewgeco and one of the two speakers at our last business dinner

Having identified a need in the marketplace for a live energy monitor for both housing and business markets back in 2006, and despite not having a technology background, Tanya worked with a number of agencies to develop the initial concept and Intellectual Property.

Tanya came up with the device — which shows water, gas and electricity consumption at a glance — after receiving huge utility bills.

The Ewgeco energy monitor will feature in a British Library exhibition on the country's 15 best creations of the last decade.

Tanya's story is an inspiation to the business community so make sure to book your ticket(s) (£35 each)!

"If you have a good idea, take it further otherwise you may always regret not knowing what might have been.." (Tanya Ewing)
