Careers at 1Spatial

Phill Ridley is a Senior Business Development Consultant at 1Spatial. He specialises in Emergency Services, drawing on his previous award-winning experience as Geospatial Intelligence Analyst. Phill led the intelligence analysis for the UK’s largest burglary reduction operation which resulted in a 20% reduction in burglaries.

As mentioned, Phill’s knowledge of Emergency Services is paramount to his success and his attitude towards collaboration with customers has led to new solutions being developed for known problems in emergency services using 1Spatial technology. His solutions have helped customers such as the Home Office, Met Police and Counter Terrorism Police. He has been there so truly understands the customer's problems.

He has also supported the Danish National Mapping Agency configure the foundations of an automated solution to build and maintain a 3D National Building Model to help combat Climate Change in Denmark.

Outside of work, Phill lives in Surrey with his wife Hannah and their cat Ella, whom you’ll likely spot making an appearance on Teams calls. He is the Director of Music at Holy Trinity Wandsworth where he leads a choir of 15 singers and organists.

Phill is also a keen bell ringer. Not only is he a member of the Guild of St Paul's Cathedral Ringers in London, but he is also a member of the Westminster Abbey company of bell ringers. You may have heard him ringing at the Queen's 90^th Birthday, annual national services, the Queen's platinum Jubilee or, most notably the Queen's funeral.

As a Senior artificial Intelligence and machine learning specialist, I support geospatial data analytics and information modelling. I help organisations discover avenues leading to data-driven decision making.

When I am not working, I enjoy playing chess with my teen and watching planet earth with my toddler and my favourite pass time is to cook and experiment new cuisines.

I am the Health & Safety Manager and the Finance Assistant. My day is divided into various duties within the Finance department; like playing with spreadsheets and processing invoices, both in the UK and Australia. I also squeeze in keeping everyone safe in our Cambridge office.

Outside of work, you can find me with my DIY tools looking for new projects to create. I also love experimenting with natural cosmetics, or spending my time with my friends, when I’m not walking my lovely 10-year-old dog!

Warren joined 1Spatial in April 2021 as Global Partner Manager responsible for managing and building an ecosystem of partners to support and complement 1Spatial’s strategy and core expertise.

Before joining Spatial he spent ten years with IBM in their One Channel organisation. At IBM he managed traditional hardware and software resellers, Global System Integrators as well as Managed Service Providers. Although all three roles involved working closely with partners, the partnerships in all three divisions presented diverse needs and challenges. Warren believes that truly understanding the needs and drivers of different partners are key to ensuring the success of any partnership.

Outside of work he loves sport. In the past he played cricket for Zimbabwe B and represented the Zimbabwean hockey team at the All Africa games. He has played competitive cricket against India and Pakistan but nowadays enjoys playing hockey at a much slower pace, as well as doing scuba diving and running in his free time.
