Andrew Bentinck: Leading a Legacy in Terminal Emulation

Putting the power back into its clients’ hands, Flynet is a leading information technology and services provider helping organisations future-proof their legacy systems. The company is headed by Founder and CEO Andrew Bentinck, a seasoned professional leveraging his commitment to innovation and excellence within the tech industry to propel Flynet forward. We explored the company’s specialist solutions below, as Andrew is named in the Most Influential CEO Awards 2026.

Since its inception in 1994, Flynet has been responsible for building some of the industry’s most sophisticated web-based solutions for Mainframe, Unix, IBM i, VMS, VAX, and MultiValue systems. Its multi award-winning Jubilant software suite is utilised by a number of prestigious names to connect to and administer their host system environments, including DHL, BMW, HP, Vodafone, and Tesco.

Based in both the UK and USA, and supported by a growing global partner and channel network, the Jubilant software suite provides a solution pathway deemed to “deal with today, reengineer tomorrow, and has the depth and strength of capability to help you realise the future vision of your business.” This is what Flynet refers to as Enable, Enhance, and Evolve.

Enable is Jubilant Terminal Emulation, which provides users with instant web-based terminal access to key business systems on any device with zero client software installation. The software is centrally managed via the Jubilant Terminal Emulator administration centre and can similarly be managed by all mainstream virtualisation technologies.

Enhance is Jubilant UX Modernisation, which allows users to reshape how they interact with their host system and core business data. This software provides users with the freedom to adapt and evolve their business processes, quickly realising new efficiencies while gaining instant ROI and tactical advantages that are simply not available elsewhere. 

Finally, Evolve stands for the Jubilant WS Web Services Generator, which transforms the user’s host environment into a dynamic component of their business system’s interface layer. Usually confined to the transaction layer of the enterprise, these new tools allow users to unleash their investment into their host system to freely interact with and feed third-party, increasing the availability, timeliness, and integrity of key business data.

These exceptional solutions have been developed under the guidance of CEO Andrew Bentinck, who founded Flynet in 1994 and continues to manage OEM relationships whilst driving growth throughout the business. At the head of Flynet, Andrew dedicates his time to overseeing significant client relationships, identifying key new markets and potential partners, and helping to define Flynet’s strategy for growth and direction of product portfolio.

Andrew specialised in electrical and electronic engineering at the College of Arts and Technology in Cambridge. He entered the industry as a Computer Engineer for System Reliability in 1982, holding the role for a decade as he worked his way up to serve as Operations Director. From 1991 to 1994, Andrew focused his efforts on a Sales Director role for Netland, playing an instrumental role in positioning the company as the UK’s biggest reseller of Novel Netware and 3com network cards. Andrew founded Flynet in 1994, and began to shape a company that would eventually lead the market.

It has always been Andrew’s belief that Flynet solutions should be designed to complement its customers’ existing systems and best business practices. As a result, the company’s solutions do not require code changes on the legacy applications, nor the downloading of apps or plug-ins on client-side devices. Instead, Flynet solutions allow enterprises to capitalise on their existing mainframe and core business platform investment, whilst taking advantage of the unrivalled IT developments and opportunities.

For 30 years, Andrew has steered Flynet to produce a range of leading mainframe software products that enable organisations to manage their digital agendas more effectively. The company effectively empowers its clients through solutions that ensure compliance with security standards whilst improving the efficiency and security of business operations. For his unrivalled expertise and significant contributions towards enhancing business-critical solutions within the technology sector, we at CEO Monthly are delighted to recognise Andrew Bentinck at the USA’s Most Influential CEO 2026 in the field of Web Terminal Emulation.
