Global technology business UBY, known for AI-enabled monitoring systems, has launched in the UK, appointing Stuart Fawcett as UK Sales Director.
(London, UK, 7th November 2023) Establishing a permanent business within the UK and the addition of this leadership post are key operational milestones for UBY. With 29 years of experience, Stuart has a strong background in business development within the construction sector, bringing a wealth of expertise in monitoring, testing and investigations.
Laurent Mareuge, CEO at UBY, shares how the increased presence in the UK is part of a trajectory of growth:
“Building on the success of our pilot projects and proof of concepts in the UK, we are now confirming the traction by setting up a permanent presence. Expanding our team is key to that development. Bringing Stuart on board signals our focused intentions for this market with his depth of experience and industry connections.
“UBY is growing rapidly globally. We have been supporting major projects in mainland Europe since 2019. We introduced UBY into Australia and Hong Kong in 2022. This year, we’ve continued our North American growth, expanding our team in the USA and launching in Canada.”
Stuart comments:
“It has been great to join the team at this key moment, where UBY is driving change in construction monitoring, approaching well-known challenges with new ideas and solutions, which is very exciting. The range of solutions UBY offers means construction firms can meet their multiple monitoring needs via one provider.
“UBY’s proprietary technology, like the AI software embedded in the sensors, is always evolving. UBY is committed to continued innovation and collaboration, engaging with industry – contractors, suppliers, and projects. UBY’s systems are going to play an important role in improving construction activities and their stakeholder relations across the United Kingdom.”
UBY UK has been working closely with Morgan Sindall Highways to develop innovative monitoring solutions for their major projects and to ensure that our reporting software fully complies with their rigorous cybersecurity requirements.
Other recent projects include the Hallsville Quarter urban development in London’s famous Docklands district, where UBY is providing Bouygues UK with next-generation environmental monitoring; the Thirty High (formerly Portland House) refurbishment that McLaren Major Projects is delivering, which is benefiting from UBY’s digital community engagement; and HS2 C1, where UBY has worked closely with the Align JV team to install a safety monitoring system within the viaduct.
