We are incredibly proud of our 45+ year history

During that time we have contributed to the growth and success of thousands of UK businesses.

In the early days, we were supplying Olivetti typewriters and basic accounting systems.
Today we offer cutting-edge ERP software.

Despite our growth, we have kept the family values that we started with.
