Flow Software Solutions has taken up new residence in Hoults Yard in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

It builds on David King’s experience building NexGen, the surveying software that powers Lucion Services. NexGen gave Lucion a competitive advantage, and they are now the biggest asbestos surveying company in the UK.
We’ve visited Hoults Yards a lot over the years. When we started our first business about ten years ago, we used to attend networking events here, including the aptly-named “Think and a Drink” event.
Hoults Yard has changed a lot over the years. It has been re-branded, modernised, and is now a vibrant hub for innovative businesses.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the rich history of the place. Hoults Yard has been in the Hoults family for generations, and was once home to the horse-drawn removals company, “Hoults Removals”. You can still see this history in the cobbled pathways and old buildings.

We've only been in Hoults Yard for a short time, but we’ve made some great progress with our surveying app, Flow Mobile Surveying.
As soon as we settled into our new office, we got to work making Flow Mobile Surveying faster. In a few short months, we're confident we've built the fastest surveying software on the market.
Our customers agree too, saying they have been highly impressed by the speed, and how useful Flow has been to their business.
So, what now?
Our customer growth has been encouraging, especially from asbestos management companies.
But we see other opportunities too….
That’s why we designed Flow Mobile Surveying to be flexible. So we can work with other industries.
We are already starting to branch out from the Asbestos industry - exciting times!
Settling into our new office is a great milestone for our company. We hope it will make us productive, so we can make our surveying app unstoppable.
