We’re delighted to announce that KOREC’s new Mapping and GIS Business Manager is one of the best-known names in the industry, and with over 30 years of experience, he most definitely lives and breathes all things geospatial!

The KOREC Mapping team from left to right: Darrell Theobalds (Geospatial Technical Support – MGIS), Rob Partridge (MGIS Customer Success Manager), Nadia Oliveira (MGIS Account Manager) and John Cartledge (Mapping and GIS Business Manager).

Starting his careers with a degree in civil engineering, most people will know John Cartledge from his two decades at Ordnance Survey where he undertook a number of positions that saw him working in consultancy, commercial sales, operations, project management and development roles. He therefore has an extremely strong understanding of the unique business challenges that KOREC’s mapping customers face whether they be geospatial professionals introducing new workflows or those working in other industries with a requirement for high accuracy positioning.

Based on his 30 years within the industry, John brings with him four core beliefs, all of which align seamlessly with KOREC’s capabilities:

1. Problems are there to be solved: The KOREC mapping team boasts extensive experience across diverse markets and is adept at understanding the different needs of all stakeholders involved in a project. In particular, KOREC and John have been in the mapping GPS business for the same length of time – since the beginning!
2. A new workflow isn’t about wholesale change: We understand that whilst it’s all about the end data, organisations seek this result with the least disruption to their business. Just one of KOREC’s specialist areas is digitising existing workflows, another one is working with what you’ve got whether that be existing software or hardware. Compatibility is key!
3. Value for money is a key customer requirement: The business case is the first step in any new project and the numbers have to add up – Trimble’s Catalyst system, a subscription GNSS with cm accuracy is one of  KOREC’s most workable solutions.
4. You’re never just buying a product, you’re also buying into the company’s ethos: When you work with KOREC, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands because every day, we strive to meet our five principles of TRUST; Transparent, Reliable, Understanding, Supportive and Timely. We also have a Technical Support team that’s consistently mentioned for its performance in going ‘above and beyond’
