PROCEMX: A CRITICAL MISSION FROM GLASGOW TO GUAM

In this issue, we meet one of our newest Occupiers, technology specialist proceMX founded by Iain Ritchie, who regularly crosses the Atlantic on critical missions supporting Federal Emergencies as well as coordinating power infrastructures during digging and resurfacing work in New York City.

In the latest critical mission, Guam, a US territory which lies to the West Pacific Ocean is vulnerable to cyclones and May’s Super Typhoon Mawar wiped out power supplies to the island’s population.

Iain Ritchie said: “We are currently very active in support of the response to Super Typhoon Mawar in Guam. Working with the US Army Corps of Engineers our MX software manages all aspects of the deployment and maintenance of temporary power following Federal Emergencies. We provide geospatial work and operations management software applications for city operations, energy, utilities and emergency response.”

With all work in the US, Iain is flying the Scottish tech flag and sits on the board of the Scottish North American Business Council. Iain continued: “We sponsored and took part in the 25th Anniversary of Tartan Week along with the UK Department for International Trade (Scotland) at the UK Consular Residence, NYC. We looked at shared experiences around city operations, climate change, resilience and the energy transition between Scotland and New York. It’s an exciting time for us and soon we hope to apply our US expertise to Scottish and UK City infrastructures.”

“We are delighted with our move to Skypark, and with the help we have received from Lynne, Malcolm and the team. In Suite 3/2 we have a superb facility and also believe we have one of the best views of the city!” Iain finished.
