Richard will  be responsible for ensuring that the requirements of all stakeholders – including local government, Ordnance Survey and the PSMA community - are met, as well as compliance to the INSPIRE directive and UK Location Strategy.

Richard will provide direct input into the strategic direction of the National Address Gazetteer Database.

Previously, Duffield was technical consultant at GeoPlace with responsibility for maximising the use and value of the NLPG within the user community.
