The Company was founded by David Goldman together with Paul Muller and Graham Wylie in 1981 in Newcastle, to develop estimating and accounting software for small businesses.
A student at Newcastle University, Graham Wylie, took a summer job with an accountancy firm funded by a government small business grant to write software to help their record keeping. This became the basis for Sage Line 50. Next, hired by David Goldman to write some estimating software for his printing company, Campbell Graphics, Graham used the same accounting software to produce the first version of Sage Accounts. David was so impressed that he hired Graham and academic Paul Muller to form Sage, selling their software first to printing companies, and then to a wider market through a network of resellers.
the wind picks up and the birds surround us
you cover up, you settle down
drink from the well, drink from the fountain
it feels like a sunday, the morning took over and left me
with no clue
there's no one, nothing
colliding together moving me some way
you are the theme for the day
your words go deeper
I thank you and I walk by
we'll be back tomorrow
in a place where there are no limits
we don't draw the line for anyone
drink from the well, drink from the fountain
it feels like a sunday, the morning took over and left me
with no clue
there's no one, nothing
colliding together moving me some way
