How can Real Images™ help you save time and money?

Bristol City Council are a long time user of Blom's Real Images™ and even received an award from Ordnance Survey for their 'innovative use' of the technology.

We asked how Bristol Council made best use of our imagery and they were only too happy to help.

"We have avoided the cost, time and carbon emissions of travelling to 1 00 sites so far and there are 200 still to go. We will be saving £1 1 ,000 on coach hire alone." - Sally Gilbert, Strategic Project Manager
