I had a mirror meter fitted today at Pitts. It took 45 mins instead of the usual hour.

Cant understand why youd slag off another companies work, its all local, no-one travels 200 miles for a meter, just service your local trade, Pitts have been around long enough for me to trust

Initially we represented a mechanical meter called Bell Punch thus maintaining mechanical meters for many years.

In 1979, we introduced one of the first electronic meter into the provincial market, this was the CAVALIER, then came the SHERIFF meter which proved to be very successful,. We played a major role in establishing these companies.

In 1983 we introduced the TX12 Taxitronic meter. Its wasn't long before this meter became very successful, due to it being the smallest P.C.O. & B.S.I. meter on the market at that time, then came the TX14 / TX18 / TX20 / TX22 / TX28 / TX30 / TX34 Right up to the present day TX40. Also we surport Autocab meter and Digitax meters


Pitts have been around for well over 50 years, George Pitt was the original owner, it's now owned by Peter George's son.

Pitts have drivers come form Sheffield, Manchester, Stoke, Derby and many other places because their service is bang on the money.

I remember George Pitt very well, he used to come to our house when I was a small man city fan,but I'm afraid he never had a son called Peter, but he did have a son in law, called Peter.
