This September marks something of a milestone for Debbie Vincent, our Operations Manager (Huntingdon branch) – 10 years at KOREC.
Many UK KOREC customers may be familiar with Debbie and her team, but to mark her decade with the company, we asked Debbie to look back over her years working with us. Here’s what she had to say;
So, it’s been a journey, let me begin,
Back in July 2010 I was made redundant from a position I had held for almost 15 years, sadly the company was no longer and I found myself in the big wide world along with many others looking for work. I just happened to bump in to a friend who said ‘they are looking for admin staff where I work I am sure you would fit in’ – this was the start of my journey. I started with KOREC on the 8th September 2010.
Covering maternity leave for the admin team working for the Machine Control side of the business – I loved this as it was similar to what I had come from, the majority of machine control kit had to be installed so you had a number of factors to consider on every sale. At that time we covered the three operational roles which included sales, workshop and hire for the product area you were working in.

After a couple of years a role became available in the hire department which I was fortunate enough to manage. This role gave me a huge insight into the products, which has stood me in good stead throughout my career here. Hire is extremely reactive so you have to be able to juggle a number of balls without letting any drop to the ground!
From the hire role I was promoted to Operations Manager at the Huntingdon depot something I continue to do to this day – this role allows me to oversee the day to day running of the depot whilst ensuring our clients get the best possible service.
How time changes things, I have seen the TSC2 now replaced by the TSC7, R4 GPS units now replaced with R12’s, and now a unit that calibrates itself, nothing stays the same for long in this fast paced working environment!
But, I can honestly say I have truly enjoyed my time at KOREC, the people I work with and have met along the way have been truly wonderful 😊
From all of us at KOREC, thank you Debbie for your decade of dedication!

It’s been just 3 weeks since the R12i was launched to the world on 1st September.
But already Benchmark Surveys of Exeter have taken delivery of their new GNSS solution – the very first to be sold in the UK.
The team took part in trials with the new unit at the end of August, and it’s fair to say, they were blown away by the results they saw – watch the video below to see what we mean!

This week saw the launch of the next level GNSS solution from Trimble – the R12i.
Featuring robust IMU tilt-compensation via their patented TIP (Trimble Inertial Platform) technology, you can forget about levelling the pole and focus on collecting points, faster, safer and easier.
Utilising an angled pole allows you to obtain previously impossible or hazardous points – such as corners of buildings, tree bases and by rivers/watercourses.
With no time wasted calibrating or levelling, you can be much more rapid when collecting points – check out the video here to see how the R12i compares!
We are hosting a special R12i webinar on the 10th, to give you the complete lowdown on the new features, the benefits to your business, and multiple applications. Sign yourself up;
