Vista started in 1996, when their founder and Chief Executive, Murray Holdaway, was asked by a global cinema company to produce ticketing software to 'enhance the cinema experience'. The result was ground-breaking technology and they've been innovating and growing ever since. This expansion has resulted in Vista now employing more than 200 people in four offices, providing market-leading services to customers on all continents. Their seven invaluable business partners, also globally located, help them to deliver great cinema outcomes for movie-goers all over the world.
