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.

Charlotte joined 1Spatial in 2021 as a Graduate Consultant in the Cambridge Consultancy team after studying Physical Geography with applied GIS at university.

Now a consultant, her current role is within the 1Streetworks team developing the 1Integrate logic used to automate the production of compliant traffic management plans for street works. Being part of a product team has been a great way to experience the different components required to create a web application.

Outside of work, she enjoys playing korfball (a sport with similarities between netball and basketball) and getting outside whether that’s getting out on her bike around town or going slightly further afield to the beach.

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.

Toby joined 1Spatial in May 2024 and is responsible for developing relationships and pipelines with our government clients.

He previously worked in the commercial team for a GIS developer specialising in Local Authorities and for a geodemographic consultancy specialising in private sector (retail) demographics.

Outside of work he spent 5-6 years road cycling for an elite team around the UK, ranking 3rd in Yorkshire and around 80th in the UK at his peak. He then started running socially and now participates in the occasional park run, half or full marathon.
