Sage began as a modest British start-up.
In 1981, our founder David Goldman wanted to create quotes quickly for his print business and keep track of his accounts. David worked with a team from Newcastle University, including Dr. Paul Muller, a computer expert who worked with NASA, and student Graham Wylie. Our founders realised other businesses could benefit from this too. Some eight years later, Sage was listed on the London Stock Exchange with a £20m valuation.
Today we work with millions of businesses in all types of industries around the world. Over 11,000 employees serve our customers in more than 20 countries.
