Hi, I'm Ian Bishop

I am a geophysicist by training and spent many years working for an international consulting firm called Golder Associates. After returning to the UK after a four year posting in Seattle and accumulating huge numbers of airmiles conducting geophysical surveys in exotic (and some not so exotic) places, I decided that I had done enough travelling and should move on to something that meant more time at home with my family. Staying with Golder, I went back to my programming roots developed during my Ph.D. years and started to build web based data management products (SaaS, Software as a Service business model) initially to look after customer's site characterisation data, documents and maps; a product called eFacility.

In 2008, we spun off from Golder forming a small company called One Touch Data. In 2010 we released a new SaaS product called HazWasteOnline to the UK waste market. HazWasteOnline classifies potentially hazardous waste according to European CLP Regulation and latest Environment Agency guidelines and is now the leading tool in this niche market.
