Background

About Chris Jones

Driven by an unwavering commitment to excellence, I consistently strive to achieve the highest standards in all aspects of my professional and personal life. Leading by example, I inspire others to reach their full potential. As the Director of Global Drone Surveys, I am entrusted with the day-to-day operations of intricate UAV surveys and media tasks. In this capacity, I oversee the provision of high-definition images and geo-referenced mapping for prominent infrastructure projects, serving as both progress reports and up-to-date surveys for our valued clients. With a wealth of experience as a commercial drone pilot, I have successfully completed a substantial number of complex commercial missions, accumulating extensive flight hours in complex and challenging airspace, both domestically and internationally. These endeavours have honed my skills and qualifications, which are firmly supported by my practical operational experience. I also have experience in long range beyond the horizon BVLOS flight. Drawing from over 25 years of dedicated service in the Fire Service, I have actively participated in numerous national critical incidents, assuming the role of a Team Leader both within the United Kingdom and overseas. As an accomplished Technical Rescue Unit Team Leader and Incident Commander, I possess comprehensive expertise in various Tech Rescue USAR and Firefighting disciplines. I have been instrumental in managing high-profile critical incidents at national and regional levels, and I can provide additional details upon request. With a passion for teaching and instructing, I have delivered training in several specialised rescue skills. While my instructional experience primarily stems from the Fire Rescue community, I have also imparted knowledge to professionals across different industries and the wider public. My ability to establish connections with clients from diverse backgrounds ensures an exceptional learning experience through bespoke lessons and course development.
