The company is owned by James Penn-Dunnett, a chartered IT professional, who has spent the last 20 years in information systems engineering trying to keep pace with a rapidly changing industry. He has a 2:1 honours degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and an MSc in Applied Computing from the Open University.

Before venturing out as a Free/OpenSource software specialist James spent over 11 years, mostly in medical informatics working for the NHS, designing and developing laboratory and transfusion medicine tracking systems and supporting radiology reporting systems. He spent 3 years in pathology computing at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where he was a member of the national award winning team for the Deloitte Touch Best Information Management Project of 1998.

When not working he can be found digging up the odd ancestor or two in Caithness.
