Lenton joined Compsoft in 1999 as a consultant working on bespoke application development, using the in-house tool Equinox.

I`m looking forward to taking the company forward, focusing particularly on our expertise and excellent track record with high-growth, typically early-stage companies.".

Compsoft Plc was started in 1979 and for a long time focused purely on the development of database management and programming tools. In the 1990`s it branched out into bespoke application development, building highly specialised database systems for a variety of different companies. Today, as well as still selling the highly popular development tool Equinox, Compsoft builds leading-edge bespoke solutions using a wide range of different 3rd party and in-house tools.
