Live Software Solutions expands - back to its historical roots
Software developer Live Software Solutions (LSS), which holds
Microsoft Certified Partner status and develops and delivers software
for, among others, the insurance and publishing sectors, has seen its
business expand in recent months. As a result of that expansion, it now
needs larger premises and this has prompted it to move its headquarters
from St Albans to The Old Forge in Hatfield Park, part of the business
complex in the grounds of Hatfield House.
"Not only does this move give us the extra working space and facilities
that we need in order to meet our current commitments, it also offers
us scope for even further expansion to meet orders which are in the
pipeline," commented LSS's managing director, James Boother.
The Old Forge - complete with its exposed roof beams - comprises a
distinctive and historic site for LSS's new headquarters.
It is close to Hatfield House, a Jacobean mansion built on the site of
the Royal Palace of Hatfield which, among other things, was the
childhood home of both the future Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I.
Since 1611, it has been the home of the Cecil family and is currently
the home of Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, the 7th Marquess of Salisbury.
Mike Goatly, LSS's technical director, commented: "In those days, the
forge, or smithy, was the powerhouse of the economy. In many ways,
software has taken over that role - so it's appropriate that our
company is now based in the Old Forge."

About Hatfield House
Hatfield House is built on the site of the Royal Palace of Hatfield
which, among other things, was the childhood home of both the future
Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I.
Indeed, the Queen Elizabeth Oak on the grounds of the estate is said to
be the location where Elizabeth was told she was Queen following Mary's
death. In November 1558, Elizabeth held her first Council of State in
the Great Hall.
The palace, built in 1497 by the Bishop of Ely, was later seized -
along with other church properties - by Henry VIII. The present
Jacobean house was built in 1611 by Robert Cecil, First Earl of
Salisbury and Chief Minister to King James I and it has been the home
of the Cecil family ever since. It is currently the home of Robert
Gascoyne-Cecil, the 7th Marquess of Salisbury.
The Third Marquess of Salisbury was three times Prime Minister during
the closing years of Queen Victoria's reign.
