Dick Newell

Dr. Richard G. Newell has spent over 30 years in the software industry in Computer aided design (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Dick holds degrees in Civil Engineering and Numerical Analysis and a PhD in Chemical Engineering.

As a software engineer, he worked at CADCentre alongside his brother Martin Newell who is perhaps best known as the creator of the Utah Teapot (or Newell teapot). It was at the centre that Dick oversaw the creation of the extremely successful Plant Design Management System (PDMS) for 3D process plant design. In 1972 Dick, his brother Martin and Tom Sancha proposed the Newell's algorithm procedure.

He co-founded his first company, Cambridge Interactive Systems Ltd. (CIS) in 1977. CIS was part of what became known as 'The Cambridge Phenomenon'. Dick co-founded Smallworld Systems in 1988. The company was successfully floated, on NASDAQ in 1996 and was subsequently sold to General Electric Corporation (GE) in 2000.

Dick held the position of Chairman of both CIS and Smallworld Systems.

Dick is currently a Non-Executive Director of UltraVision CLPL with business partners J. Keith Lomas and John H. Clamp. Dick is also a Director of Ubisense. In his spare time, Dick is a keen bird watcher and has held a council member position for the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO).
