Our team and associates
Sensible development is a team of eight experts in web and mobile phone development, usability, web design and enterprise-level real-time database-driven systems.
Alan Newman is our founder and managing director, and he leads all client engagements. Previously, Alan developed financial trading systems for bank HSBC (under its former name: Republic National Bank of New York). City traders and back-room staff used Alan's systems to price, review and track trades live. He also developed a loans management system for global financier George Soros.
In 2000, Alan followed his passion for the beautiful game when he created a popular online football game for the record-breaking UEFA Euro 2000 site. A year later he set up Sensible Development.

Just for fun, John co-founded £5app, a meet-up for programmers to showcase their lightweight software. He programs in Java, PHP, Python and SQL (MySQL).
