This hire follows the companies announcement of their £81 million Early Access Programme, which highlights the clear need for their unique heat mapping technologies across a range of industries.  

Bettridge has a wealth of experience serving the financial services industry with data and insights, most recently delivering the next generation of ESG and climate intelligence. He will head up Satellite Vu’s development and commercial strategies, helping to drive their Early Access Option Programme and fuel the company’s growth overseas.

Satellite Vu’s high-resolution technology offers a new way to analyse activity, detect changes and anomalies. As well as images, Satellite Vu will provide 60 second videos, which enables the visualisation of dynamic changes over time and build-up of a pattern of life.

This technology unlocks new levels of insight when it comes to ESG, and will allow companies to monitor, report and action in a transparent and accurate manner. It also enables the verification of green (ESG) investments in the supply chain - currently worth £3 trillion.
