A little glimpse into the history of The HBP Group.
In 1991, following a management buyout of Humber Business Products, HBP Systems was founded by Sue Dixon and David Smith. HBP Systems would go on to become the founding member of The HBP Group but began life as a specialist accounts software supplier based in Scunthorpe.
Joanne Partridge, our Managing Director, joined HBP Systems in 1992 as a receptionist on a YTS scheme (now known as an apprenticeship). She went on to work in virtually every department and role within HBP Systems and is pictured here with her fellow Director Tony Pearson.
In the 1990s we became one of the fastest growing Pegasus Partners in the UK. Although not related at the time, HBP Systems and Kamarin Computers (who would later join forces as The HBP Group) were both heavily involved in the launch of Pegasus Opera, a new accounting package which would become one of the most well used pieces of software by small and medium sized businesses in the UK.
