Allies Computing Ltd, begun in Norfolk in 1986 as a software development enterprise, has been specialising in the field of Address Management and Rapid Addressing since 1990. As well as designing and marketing their own successful range of PostCoder® products, Allies® are responsible for the development and production of the Royal Mail's UK Addresses software on CD.

Originally set up by the Managing Director in the attic of his house, the Company expanded to an annex office in the early 1990s. By the end of 1999 with a staff of 6, the Company needed more space, and moved to a converted barn on the new business complex at Manor Farm Barns in Framingham Pigot, roughly five miles out of Norwich.

Now they are moving again. Having more than doubled in size since their arrival at Manor Farm Barns, they will be moving across the complex to a new barn conversion, roughly three times the size of their current premises. So how has a small local company expanded so successfully?

With the growth of the Web having increased their visibility across and outside the UK, Allies® currently have customers all over the country as well as in the Channel Islands, France and the United States. Allies® software users are not only geographically diverse; they cover a wide range of business types and sizes, from Sole Traders to much larger household names. Director and Project Manager, Dr Lorna Allies, said, "Address Management software is now recognised as an important CRM tool for all businesses."

Allies Computing have room to double in size again at their new location, and hope that with no more moves on the horizon, they can concentrate on continued growth and build on their range of successful Address Management solutions.
