This weekend, our Chairman, Peter Woodsford received an MBE for his services to the Geographic Information Industry in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. The award is recognition of his contribution to the growing maturity and importance of the Geographic Information industry.
Member of the British Empire
For our overseas friends and colleagues, you might be interested to know that an MBE is an order of chivalry awarded by The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. It is awarded by the Sovereign on advice of the Government.
So naturally we're very proud to have him as our Chairman.
On receiving the award, Peter said:
“Although the award is to me personally, I see it as a mark of the growing maturity and importance of the GI industry, and of the contributions towards this of my two companies, 1Spatial (formerly Laser-Scan) and Snowflake Software, the organisations I have worked with (AGI, EuroSDR, OGC and ISPRS) and universities I have been associated with (UCL, Edinburgh and Nottingham) to name those that come most readily to mind".
Meet Peter at the INSPIRE Conference, Krakow
Peter will be attending the INSPIRE Conference with Snowflake from 23-25 June and will be chairing a session there. You can visit the Snowflake Software stand to congratulate Peter on receiving his MBE or to ask him any questions.
From everyone at Snowflake, Congratulations Peter, a very well deserved award.
