Welcome to Urban Turtle by Peter Martin

We are a small database application development company based in Bournemouth, Dorset, on the beautiful South Coast of England. In business since 1990, we have undertaken work for both large and small companies in a variety of hardware environments and business scenarios. Previously known as The Software House at Pooh Corner and PDM Systems, Urban Turtle is our 3rd re-invention, celebrating our 3rd decade of service and support to our customers.

You can see from our Projects page that we are able to undertake complex projects whilst still being able to care for our customers.

Our Links page lists some websites that we have designed or maintain and some our clients who use us to host their websites.

We offer :

  • - development, support and maintenance of systems written in Microsoft Access +/- Microsoft SQL Server
  • - website and internet application design, support and hosting
  • - expertise in : ASP, ASP.NET, .Net Framework, CSS, HTML, PHP, MySQL

We offer a consultancy service with a high satisfaction level and are proud to have a large number of our new business contacts referred from our existing customer base. Over the years our clients have included large companies like IKEA, O2, Harrods, National Air Traffic Services, First Group, BAE Systems, Councils and NHS Trusts. We are equally at home working with smaller companies like Talbot House School and Cleveland House Productions.

Additionally, we were very pleased to be able to help a local school win a Merit Award in the national Rolls Royce Science Prize Competition and donate the hosting for Flyability, a disability initiative of the British Hang Gliding & Paragliding Assocation.
