Rachel Tidmarsh, managing director of Bluesky International. said: “Northern Ireland has a long history of high-end aerial survey and mapping and therefore we have been fortunate to be able to recruit highly experienced photogrammetrists.

“The addition of this experienced team to our existing international production capacity will, we hope, improve already high standards across our workflows and will help drive further innovation in production methodology and new product development

The new production facility is based close to the Ulster University’s Coleraine campus, home to the School of Geography and Environmental Sciences,

Bluesky hopes to build strong relationships with the academic community. It anticipates this will further drive research and innovation in both surveying techniques and mapping outcomes.
