Commercial Activities

Codemist Ltd is a software company founded, owned and run by myself, Dr Arthur Norman (Chairman) and Professor Alan Mycroft, both of Cambridge University, and our families. Our main products are in symbolic algebra and in C compilers, but we also have LISP and Music interests. We have sold software to a number of major Japanese and UK companies (for example, INMOS, Acorn, ARM, NAG, NEC, Fujitsu, Hitachi) and specialise in C compilers for non-standard architectures.

In the company I act as Finance, Marketing, Sales and Managing Director, taking responsibility to all administration with the Company Secretary. I prepare financial projections and deal with planning. In addition I design and build software systems in all our areas. Codemist has reported a profit for every year of its existence until the recent resession.
