The Disposal of CA&K strengthens the Company's focus on construction software operations whilst providing additional working capital to pursue further growth opportunities.

Elecosoft Sweden has previously collaborated with Tyrens on a number of successful software development projects and the two companies are actively exploring other opportunities to work together. 
As a result of the divestment, Elecosoft will have achieved another milestone in its transformation into a specialist international software developer and provider of market leading construction software worldwide. 
John Ketteley, Executive Chairman of Elecosoft, said:
"The divestment of our Swedish architectural services business to Tyrens, and our continuing collaboration with Tyrens on software projects, are consistent with our aim of establishing Elecosoft as a leading international specialist in the development and supply of construction software. We look forward to further progress as we are able to focus on our profitable core business."
