OUR TEAM
Geoff Hutchinson-Director /Chief Pilot
In 2017, I had the privilege of joining my wife Pam Hutchinson in running our successful 25-year-old visual media business. Together, we launched a drone service that provides stunning aerial photography and video to our commercial and government clients. Coming from a background in military aviation software, I quickly realised the potential of using drones not just for imagery, but also for data capture.
With my experience in supplying the defence and surveillance markets, as well as my 16-year history in the construction industry, I was able to identify software and hardware solutions that could help our clients achieve their goals. Since then, I've completed my drone pilots' license, AROC (airways radio operators’ certificate) and secured a CASA ReOC accreditation for our company, ensuring that we provide the highest level of service and safety to our clients.
As a CEO with over 30 years of experience in managing businesses across different sectors, I bring a deep understanding of business challenges to the table. I'm passionate about developing smarter businesses and helping the next generation of business executives navigate the fast-paced and competitive environment of today's world. If you're interested in connecting or learning more about how I can help your business thrive, please don't hesitate to reach out!
