“The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)  combines my passions for flying and photography.”

My early years in the Aircraft Industry with Rollason Aircraft and Engines gave me a thorough grounding in both fixed and rotary winged aircraft.

I built and repaired airframe and engines for light aircraft including those involved in world-class aerobatic championships.
I moved to Bristow Helicopters and worked on both fixed and rotating wing commercial aircraft.

After 10 years in the aircraft industry, I left to join the family business manufacturing fertiliser (from waste), adhesives and dealing in property development/ management. I became the Managing Director and am a Chartered Waste Manager.

I gained my Pilot’s Licence in 2004 and as a keen photographer enjoyed taking photographs from the air.
I found that by taking regular aerial pictures of the various sites we were working on that I could monitor progress more efficiently and that this amongst other things was an invaluable management tool.   The UAV seemed a natural progression in that it could safely access areas at a much closer range and at a fraction of the cost.

I obtained my BNUC-S in 2014 and have applied it to a range of uses including construction sites; industrial stock-taking; media; marketing; building surveys; 2D & 3D Mapping and crop surveying.
