Who we are

Stream Group is an innovative company, founded on extensive business experience and proven commercial expertise.

Stream Group’s objective is to deliver high quality, robust solutions to businesses which are disillusioned with the time, cost and sheer pain of doing bespoke software development.  These solutions can be delivered using our UK-based team, or through our sister company JCN Solutions, specialising in near-shore development.

Stream Group believes in delivering solutions:

  • that work in weeks, not months
  • that only need small teams, not floors full of programmers
  • that do what the business wants now, not what the business thought it wanted a year ago
  • that builds in low cost of ownership, by making applications easy to maintain and without relying on expensive, niche resources

Stream Group is a highly focussed team of talented individuals who are committed to exceeding your expectations. 

Our core team is supported by a proven network of associates, affiliates, product providers and partners.

Stream Group’s Board consists of:

Jim Carr – Chairman
