The DevLab Podcast

In this episode of the DevLab Podcast, we invited Manish Jethwa, the Chief Technology Officer at Ordnance Survey, for a deep-dive conversation.
We explore Manish's journey into tech, his role and responsibilities as a CTO, and the trends that excite him the most in technology.
He also delves into the mission of Ordnance Survey, the process of building high-performing tech teams, and common misconceptions about their work.
What we do at Ordnance Survey

With our valuable location data and expertise, built on over 230 years of experience, we’re maintaining the UK’s position as number two in the world for geospatial capability. We help the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) on its mission to deliver improved public services and grow the economy, and we are an active partner of the UK Geospatial Commission.

We are helping our customers to see a better place. Because location data has the power to create new and exciting opportunities, as we move towards a connected digital society. Our continually refined data presents an accurate digital view of locations, with which our customers can build or refine their own solutions.

OS has a wide range of customers across government, business, and consumer markets. If a government authority wants to map its road network, a private enterprise is looking to relocate its assets, a start-up company is making its ‘Find us’ page on its website – all these examples, and countless more, see key stakeholders turn to OS for data and support.

Using our location data unlocks insight and facilitates important decision-making processes, that will go onto enhance the quality of life of future generations, and contribute to the future success of Britain and other nations.
