PUGH CELEBRATES 25 YEARS

A mail-order Computer firm, based in rural West Wales is celebrating 25 years in business.

The company specialises in software sales and licensing and is one of the U.K's leading suppliers of software to the education and voluntary sectors.

With the focus and leadership strengths of founder and Managing Director, Jeffrey Pugh, the company has seen rapid expansion, now turning over in excess of £13 million per annum and provides employment for over 20 staff - an important contribution to the local economy.

In 1981, Jeffrey saw the potential of setting up in business to provide local companies with accounts' consultancy and computer systems and services. Very early on he saw the benefit of mail order as a sound business platform. Negotiating his first key agreement with RPS and the purchasing consortia for universities, the link between software, education and mail order was forged and the main core of today's business was formed.

Jeffrey recalls the time well "The large multinational software companies did not believe that any company operating out of remote West Wales could be successful in the fast moving and competitive world of technology, it took a lot of convincing on our part"

The arrival of the internet and the unforeseen explosion in internet technologies saw business
grow rapidly in software lines such as Adobe, Macromedia and Microsoft. "Our strong market position is due to our close working relationships we have built with suppliers such as Adobe and Microsoft."

The company continues to look to the future and believes that investing in new technology is vital. 2006 will see the launch of the company's new-look database driven website providing customers with e-procurement facilities. The new C.R.M. system will also help monitor performance and better understand the customers' needs.
