Each of the Directors plays an active role in promoting the profession both globally and across professions.
The Commercial Director Richard Maltby was voted Geospatial Engineer of the Year in 2002 by the Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors for his valuable work in Training and Education. As the then Vice President of The Survey Association he was instrumental in developing what is still the only structured training course for technician level surveying; thereby helping to resolve one of the greatest weaknesses in the industry – lack of skilled staff.
The Systems and Quality, Development and Survey Directors Andrew, David and Stephen have each been instrumental in the development and promotion of new technologies. These are now deployed daily in the measurement of buildings for infrastructure development and asset management; the Surveying of rivers for hydraulic modelling and flood risk assessment; and the creation of 3D building models and subsequent Daylight, Sunlight and Rights to Light calculations.
Andrew and David have worked in conjunction with both the RICS and RIBA in promoting greater understanding of exactly what the Geospatial Community provides to their many and varied stakeholders. .......................back
