Meet Our Team

Catherine has been with the company since 2012, and has fulfilled a number of roles in the GIS industry.

Catherine oversees some of the operational elements of the Operations Team who provide professional GIS Consultancy, Training and Support services to our customers.

Catherine is a busy Mum and hails from New Zealand.

Charles joined thinkWhere in May 2018 as a Consultant. Prior to joining thinkWhere, Charles spent over 4 years working in the renewable energy industry, providing GIS support for a variety of projects.

Outside work, Charles enjoys reading, trail running and swimming.

Colin has over 20 years of experience in the GIS industry across all aspects of GIS since his first job digitizing OS LandLine mapping for Ordnance Survey’s Rural Revision programme. Colin provides the lead on technical projects for developing GIS applications, with a focus on managing our OpenSource cloud infrastructure.  Colin also runs our Postgres administration training course.

Duncan is one of our Consultants.

Duncan’s job within thinkWhere varies from data management, to delivering training and support to customers, and working on specific GIS projects.

Duncan says “Of all the staff I’m probably the one most likely to stand out, once being described  as looking like a cross between a hipster and a pro-skateboarder. When not trying to convince you that GIS is cool, I can be found podcasting, running and adding to my expanding collection of tattoos (I’m running out of space).”

Heather joined the Operations Team in May 2019 after completing CodeClan’s 16 week professional software development course.

Heather’s background is in Outdoor Education, Ski Instructing and Active Schools.

In her spare time, Heather enjoys walking her dogs, running, hiking, geocaching, skiing, rock climbing (anything active) and relaxing!
