Team leader, project manager, solutions architect, and historic environment data specialist.

A scientist and archaeologist by training, with many years' experience in fieldwork, academic archaeology and Historic Environment Records, Crispin joined Exegesis in 2001 to work on the HBSMR product for Historic Environment Records. Under his management, HBSMR has gone through several major upgrade cycles, and the user community has continued to grow year on year. The HBSMR team has expanded accordingly, and Crispin believes the success of the product reflects and depends on the strength of the team's deep skills and experience.

Crispin and the team also contribute actively to national heritage initiatives whenever possible; e.g. enabling the success of the Heritage Gateway, and dramatically improving heritage outcomes through agri-environment schemes via the SHINE portal and methodology.

Crispin joined the Exegesis management team as a Director in 2006, and helped grow the business leading to the acquisition by Idox Plc in October 2021. Subsequently Crispin has led the successful integration of the team into Idox, and delivered further growth and successes across our suite of GIS applications and services.

Outside work, Crispin enjoys fell running, cycling, family,  brown beer, and playing the piano very badly.
