ABOUT SHELTON DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

About Us

Shelton Development Services (SDS) emerged from the quiet landscapes of Surrey, founded by the visionary David Shelton. Armed with nothing more than a simple spreadsheet and an unwavering passion to tackle the housing crisis, David's journey began after his tenure at Crest Nicholson. From these modest origins, SDS rapidly ascended to become the market-leading solution for social housing providers, a beacon of trust and reliability.

Fast forward thirty years, and SDS stands as an internationally acclaimed software powerhouse. While our reach has expanded across the globe, our core mission remains steadfast - addressing the intricate challenges of housing. Now under the stewardship of the esteemed Canadian parent company Valsoft, this strategic acquisition has propelled SDS into a new era of evolution and growth.
