management team

Managing Director

Andrew Kypri
Andrew began programming Cap Gemini (née Hoskyns) as a graduate trainee in 1976. He spent several years developing M applications before moving to Plessey where he was responsible for supporting Intersystems M in Europe. After creating a retail business as a sideline he recognised the shortcomings in the commercial software available to run it. Combining his computing and retailing backgrounds he decided to write his own system, PRIAM. Within a short time he had built a market leading package, a credible customer base and a thriving company. His ambition now is to consolidate these gains and widen the company base and product range to take it forward.
