Our brief history

Alex began his career in commercial airship operations, developing a passion for complex, multinational projects. His journey took him from managing airships across France, Austria, Italy, Germany, and the USA, to leading muti store management at Majestic Wines, interspersed with a stint as a market stall owner at Camden Lock Market. Inspired by the geospatial industry, Alex acquired a camera system from Nctech, leading to our first client—Sata, a ski resort in Alpe d’Huez, which is now the headquarters of our French operations. This venture kickstarted Skilled Mapping’s success, culminating in our first three comprehensive service contracts in the United Kingdom. Today, Skilled Mapping manages geospatial projects globally for multinational companies in the USA, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and the UK.

A new chapter with Isabelle as CTO

In 2023 Isabelle Bonnet (now Wrigglesworth) joined Skilled Mapping.

Isabelle brought a wealth of machine learning and robotics experience into the business which led us to build our first in-house mobile mapping system. Our initial product is helping us to address climate change and CO2 emissions in homes worldwide. Skilled mapping is currently training an AI model on our data base which is the worlds largest involving 33 million thermal images comprising over 500,000 homes across three different countries.

This mobile mapping system built in-house uses Nvida embarked systems. The early results of which are to be released in September 2024 at our launch event will change the way the British public views heat loss in their home.

Over 15,000 unique mile collected using electric cars

1,000+ images labeled and an AI model soon to be trained: a refined convolutional neural networks model from a combination of existing ones

33 million thermal images collected in three counties comprising over 500,000 UK homes.

“The greatest danger to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”
