Notts 3D mapping firm doubles headcount
A Notts provider of 3D mobile mapping technology says it has doubled it staff numbers in the first six months of 2017 after increasing sales by 150%.
GeoSLAM now employs 30 people at its Bingham office, with notable senior appointments including Richard Betts as the new CEO and John Allan as vice president of sales and marketing.
GeoSLAM’s global distribution network has grown too, surpassing the 50-mark in July. As a result, GeoSLAM now has a presence in 43 countries across six continents – including new signings in China, the USA and Germany.
Betts said: “We’ve certainly noticed an increased awareness of the need for accurate, reliable and rapid mapping amongst the surveying and engineering community. With our ZEB-REVO, we have met that need, allowing customers to build a highly accurate 3D model of any environment in minutes.
“Ultimately, it has been a fantastic year so far for us. Now, as we look ahead to the future and supported by our new website, we have our sights set on further growth, and cementing ourselves as the global leader in the field of 3D mobile mapping technology solutions.”
GeoSLAM was founded in 2012 as a joint venture between CSIRO (Australia’s National Science Agency and the inventors of Wi-Fi) and 3D Laser Mapping (a specialist provider of 3D LIDAR solutions).
