Tim Sheppard Managing Director

The company first established itself in the Energy industry as an expert in Prepayment Customer Account Management systems, writing software systems for the major established energy suppliers in the UK.

Following the development of several vertical market software applications, in 2001 the company altered its strategy and started to sell its specialised programming services into the SME market. It invested heavily into this market and became a Pegasus software dealer in 2005 (Pegasus is the market leader in mid-market accounting software in the UK).

In January 2006, Lerryn bought the well established Pegasus reseller Wade Computing Services Limited of Stockport. This acquisition enabled Lerryn to extend their comprehensive software development and support skills into a broader accounting software arena. Staff from Wade were employed by Lerryn and continue to develop the business with even greater resources at their disposal.

In January 2006, Lerryn also acquired the Pegasus customer base of Complete Computer Services Limited in Cheadle Heath. A number of Pegasus customers were thus transferred.

With an appetite for growth through acquisition, in June 2006 Lerryn bought out another Pegasus dealer in Staffordshire called DTOS Limited and again, secured the services of the existing staff.

August 2006 saw another strategic acquisition for Lerryn in the form of Professional Systems Design Limited in Doncaster. PSD had previously been a Pegasus reseller for 20 years and again, brought experienced staff and an established customer base.

In November 2006, Lerryn purchased the Pegasus customer base of Peach Data Services plc, who were another reseller in Staffordshire. This acquisition again helped further strengthen the company’s position in the mid market accounting and bespoke software development marketplace.

The company continues to grow from strength to strength. With its unique blend of programming and development expertise, together with decades of experience in the UK accounting mid market, the company is expanding its installed customer base throughout the North, North West and Midlands areas. Further expansion is planned through additional strategic acquisitions and through organic growth.
