Fluent managing director Keith Turkington says Flexi-Grant is designed for the more
complex end of the grants administration market, with, for instance, the facility
to do peer review of research grant applications.

While Flexi-Grant is aimed at grant givers anywhere, the majority of the market 
for the software is the London area where the company has around has 80% of its 
current client base.

Mr Turkington says that while there are nearly 14,000 grant giving bodies in the
UK, around 500-600 would be the size and capacity to use Flexi-Grant.
