Maptastic

Maptastic is a Bradford based business focussed on the Ecology & Environment sectors in the UK & Ireland. Maptastic is focused on SMEs, independent and freelance businesses for their mapping, data, training and workflow development needs. As a small business (Maptastic is just me, QGIS, and a fancy field work tablet) I keep smaller businesses and freelancers in the environment sector as my North Arrow (see what I did there?).

"Knowing Claire would improve our systems and also be the person we speak to when we need support is why we worked with a small business like Maptastic. Working with her has been a really good long-term investment for us."

"I’m getting great feedback from the team about the QGIS training, given the range of GIS proficiency within the team it's been very valuable"
