About us

Having gained his HND in Civil Engineering from the University of South Wales, Carl worked across a huge variety of projects from 1989 – 1996, from £40m motorway widening contracts to aircraft hardstandings. At this time Carl also developed his management and training skills, something which has proved to be invaluable at SEP. His attention to detail, sense of team and organisational skills ensure the smooth running of SEP Technical.

Away from the business, Carl enjoys fine wines, achieving a distinction in the Level 2 Wine and Spirit Education Trust qualification. He also reviews restaurants and hotels for a number of publications and is an avid motorsport fan.

Oliver is an experienced manager who assists organisations to incorporate spatial information into their operations, leading to greater productivity, safety and value. What’s more, his strong interpersonal skills, positive attitude and unwavering dedication to the businesses in which he has worked, have enabled him to build long-lasting business relationships with customers from across the UK and Europe.

Outside the business, Oliver enjoys spending time with his family, playing competitive tennis and is a lifelong Liverpool fan.

Neil’s adaptability and attention to detail inspire confidence in both his colleagues and his customers. His knowledge of the industry, and in particular of Trimble/Spectra software, services and equipment, make him a crucial member of the SEP Geospatial team.

When he’s not advising customers, Neil enjoys spending time outdoors, popping to the pub with family and friends and is a big fan of Everton FC.

Over the course of twenty years at SCCS, Drew carried out a number of roles, from driver to technical support to sales. He eventually became a key national account manager, bringing in a revenue of over £5m per annum. In 2018, having dealt with SEP as a customer, Drew joined the company as regional sales director, bringing with him a wealth of experience and an unrivalled knowledge of the surveying industry.

Drew claims to sleep, eat and breathe all things surveying, but when he does unwind, he can often be found manning the BBQ, come wind, rain or sun, most likely with a drink in his hand.

Luke’s original passion was art, completing an Art Foundation course after he had left school, and subsequently studying Advertising Design at Newcastle College. His career path seemed to be going in a very different direction. However, his creative thinking and flexibility ensured he became a successful recruiter and it’s no doubt that these attributes have been a major part of SEP’s growth. Luke became a director of the company in 2018.

When he’s not working, Luke still has a passion for all things artistic and claims he was once a budding DJ, something he still dabbles in to this day.

Since rejoining the new-look SEP in 2017, Ben has performed a variety of roles within SEP Geospatial, including managing the hire fleet, logistics planning and client liaison. His prior experience has proven invaluable, giving him the drive and focus to ensure that SEP Geospatial delivers the best possible customer service to its clients. Ben became a director of SEP Geospatial in 2020.

Away from SEP, Ben has a passion for the great outdoors and likes nothing better than to be flyfishing for trout or climbing a mountain.

Tom had always enjoyed the application of science and, in a bid to become the next Heston Blumenthal, initially applied his interest to catering. Several years later, and now working front of house, a chance conversation prompted a change of career. His journey in GPR had begun and he’s never looked back. Working for a well-known equipment supplier, and increasing the demand for its GPR gear exponentially, Tom saw a gap in the market for a specialist in subsurface scanning equipment. The rest is history.

Outside work, Tom joins his local cricket team for the odd friendly Sunday game – no sledging allowed on Sundays! He also enjoys going to driven game shoots through the winter season.
