The Story of Chequers Software Limited
During 1999 Tom Hingston sought a new challenge - developing quality software products. At the time, Tom was working as Quality Manager at Sunbeam Corporation. Tom made many important contributions to Sunbeam's quality processes, including achieving the first ISO accreditation for a New Zealand Electric Blanket Manufacturer. He also designed their innovative electric blanket controller. Further indication of his creative abilities is shown in the two patents he designed.
The brothers Hingston resolved to export innovative software that enhances computer operator productivity. They started trading under the name Chequers Software and marketed software over the Internet. International sales and customer feedback suggested that they we were on target. Chequers Software Limited was incorporated 2002 and is now the software marketing arm, operating from T-Up, The Technology Entrepreneur Centre in Wellington, New Zealand. Chequers Software now has customers in over 35 countries. Sadly Tom developed a brain tumour and died January 2003, bequeathing Chequers Software to David. After the death of his brother, David has devoted his time to further developing the company they had started. Chequers Software Limited continues to grow by responding to its customer needs with the provision of excellent customer service. Recent feedback from a customer:
