Phoebe Dawson
HR AssistantPhoebe Dawson
HR AssistantI support the day to day running of the HR Department at 1Spatial. I am also very passionate about the diversity and wellbeing programmes we have here at 1Spatial and ensure we are always coming up with new ideas on how to implement them even when working at home due to the current climate. I have recently completed my Level 3 CIPD qualification with 1Spatial as an apprentice.
Fun fact; I am the youngest member of the 1Spatial family!
In my spare time, I love to go travelling around the world- especially visiting European Christmas Markets!

Phill loves the opportunity to meet with clients and prospects and relishes any opportunity for a chat!
I once got mistaken for Tom Daley whilst at university. At first, it was fun, but it got tiring asking for my photo to be taken.
When not working I am a campanologist and I ring at St Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey for their big state occasions.

Head of Technical Delivery"Geography has always been my passion; as a discipline I see it as a fundamental link to understanding the complexities of our world, and key to addressing the challenges we face ”. As Solutions Architect for 1Spatial, Phil and his team work on developing innovative solutions which combine spatial data and technology to solve our customers complex problems.
Phil joined 1Spatial in October 2019 and with his team has achieved a number of notable successes. “The variety of projects and technologies you are exposed to with 1Spatial is amazing and all of our teams are given real freedom to innovate, own and shape the solutions we build for our customers; in a supportive and collaborative environment”.
Phil’s job is not only to help design these solutions, but also to make sure the team has what it needs to succeed, “It’s about making sure that as a team we are all heading in the same direction and that we have the necessary tools, and lightweight processes to complete the journey in a smart, efficient way to deliver the maximum value for our customers.”
Outside of work Phil enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. To keep fit Phil runs regularly and has also been known to compete in the odd half and full marathon. He’s an avid sports fan following Sale Sharks and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and in any spare time enjoys brewing beer, and of course, sampling it!
