Meet The Team

Joining 1Spatial in June 2022 as the UK Events Manager, Beth now dons two hats, looking after the roles of Head of Events and Executive Assistant to our CEO, Claire Milverton.

Balancing these dual responsibilities keeps Beth on her toes, but she wouldn't have it any other way! Collaborating closely with colleagues, Beth works with the wider team to organise an events schedule that is aligned to our business needs, ensuring networking opportunities for the team. Beth collaborates across all teams to deliver excellence at every event.

In her capacity as Executive Assistant, Beth gains invaluable insights into the global landscape of our business. She supports the senior leadership team, focusing on strategic planning and execution to help drive our company's success well into the future.

Despite having a decade of experience in the events industry, her passion for musical theatre and fitness remain at the core. Beth loves nothing more than collaborating with colleagues, coming up with new innovative ways of working and driving brilliance to the 1Spatial business.

Charlotte joined 1Spatial in June 2022, having previously led a marketing team in the construction industry. 

She manages the campaigns for our utilities and third-party verticals plus our core 1Spatial products. Creating omnichannel campaigns that drive awareness and leads. 

She is also one of 1Spatial’s Fertility Ambassadors, Mental Health First Aiders and a First Aider.

Outside of work you’ll find her either hiking with her husband and furbaby Monty, or paddling along one of the UKs waterways, or in the colder months, crocheting in front of a fire. 

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.

David leads testing on many of the projects at 1Spatial, working closely with our teams of expert geospatial consultants and developers. Within these projects, he tests the quality of our solutions and ensures that they meet the clients’ requirements and specifications.

The variety in his work allows him to exercise many different testing approaches and continuously expand and develop his skills. He is involved in 1Spatial's mobile development team, Team Morpheus, working on our mobile products such as 1Capture. His hobbies include palaeontology and all things crafty, and he has somehow managed to create a large overlap between the two.

John O’Toole is a Managing Consultant with 1Spatial Ireland, with responsibility for the delivery of solutions to our key Irish customers.

He varies between working on-site with customers and working from his home in nearby County Meath. After dropping his two girls off to school, he has a morning scrum call with the team of developers and consultants who are spread across the island of Ireland. During the scrum call, they catch up on what happened the previous day and go through plans for the upcoming day. With many projects running in parallel, John spends a lot of the day in meetings with colleagues and customers – either remotely or in person. The frequent communication is essential to ensure we are delivering value to the ever-evolving requirements of our customers.

On finishing his working day, John likes to get out for a run to clear the mind. At the weekends, the mornings tend to be taken up with his children’s sports activities. If time and weather allow it, the BBQ will make an appearance for the evening. John also recently invested in an Ooni pizza oven and is working on perfecting his Neapolitan style pizza – still a work in progress!

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.

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.

Rich's role is to help organisations solve their spatial data challenges and make their business aspirations become a reality. Plus, he is the resident 1Spatial Ipswich Town FC Guru.

His passion is contributing to business outcomes that make a real difference to people and our environment. When not working, he is kept busy with his 2 young daughters fulfilling many roles such as chauffer, stylist and funder of sweets!

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.

Jon joined 1Spatial in April 2022 to work on the National Underground Asset Register (NUAR) project, following a period acting as a Solution Architect contractor. His career started in 1984 as a Cartographic Assistant at Ordnance Survey, going on to work in various roles including the GISlab, geospatial data research and designing early forms of online map applications on the OS website. He also had a spell at BT, working on various geospatial data sharing initiatives for customers such as Essex County Council and later with internal GIS strategy for Openreach.

On NUAR, Jon leads the team responsible for the process that transforms asset data supplied by all contributing organisations into a standardised model. Data is transformed and validated using 1Integrate, and kept up to date on a regular basis via 1Data Gateway. By September 2024, the number of asset-owning organisations onboard was close to 300, including all major Utilities companies across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

In his spare time Jon enjoys writing. His self-published novel currently ranks around 200,000th in the literary fiction charts on Amazon.
