We turned it round. The websites we delivered are way beyond what most other EU countries have even attempted and are really liked by the N Irish farmers and agents who use them - praise indeed.

Developer/designer on GIS systems - part of the MasterMap team. GIS was not commonly used by OS to monitor and visualise their data production until this period. My main work was on designing and implementing production line monitors using MapInfo/MapBasic to show progress on the small scales cartographic products, and a national system used by chief surveyors to monitor and plan field work and tie it back in to production monitoring in Southampton. I am very proud to have worked at OS.
