Northmore Gordon was formed in 2009 to join the global effort to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases through consultant services to many large industrial clients. Northmore Gordon provided technical services including energy audits, access to government grants, and carbon accounting. In 2012 the directors of Northmore Gordon with two others founded Wattly as a separate business to use Cloud and Mobile solutions to help drive energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and carbon abatement and support the transition to a low carbon economy. Wattly focussed on the energy savings certificate industry and grew to be the largest certificate creator under the VEU for a number of years with substantial success arising from LED lighting upgrades.
In 2017 Wattly acquired Northmore Gordon to help further grow both businesses. For the past 3-4 years the businesses have been co-located and worked together whilst retaining separate customer segments and brands. In June 2021 Wattly, now one of the largest Environmental Certificate aggregators, and Northmore Gordon, a leading energy and carbon consultancy, combined forces under the Northmore Gordon name. The consolidated business is focussed on providing B2B Advisory Services and Environmental Certificates to help large business decarbonise and improve energy performance.
