A computer software firm has been named as one of the north's fastest growing businesses.

Legal systems specialist Videss, which employs 54 at its Liversedge office, has been placed 14th in the Deloitte & Touche Northern Technology Fast 50 Awards.

The awards are part of a campaign designed to recognise the fastest growing technology companies in seven regions across the UK and Ireland.

Videss has enjoyed a 200 per cent growth rate in the last year, thanks largely to the success of its Legal Office software package.

Founder and Managing Director Paul Sanderson said: "We are delighted by this recognition of our achievement."

Videss Legal Office is a sophisticated system built around a practice database made up of clients, matters, accounts, time costing, diary management and payroll.

It also has optional case management modules covering everything from conveyancing to debt recovery, and is designed to take advantage of Windows and client server technology. Videss Computer Systems was set up in Bradford by Mr Sanderson in 1977, and has offices in Oxfordshire.
