In 1990, he co-founded Eidos, a company specialising in video compression and non-linear editing systems, particularly for computers running the RISC OS operating system.
He later sold and left Eidos, which had moved into the computer games market, and founded Forbidden Technologies plc, whose main product is FORscene. He is currently the company's CEO.
