Mike has over 50 years experience of maps having joined Ordnance Survey straight from school in 1956 and finishing a long and varied career as National and International Sales Manager for Small Scale Products. Appointed a director of the International Map Trade Association in 1991, Mike helped create the European Division of IMTA. It was at this time that Sue first became involved in the map trade when appointed to run the division office.  

On retirement from Ordnance Survey, Mike became Executive Director of IMTA (Europe, Africa & the Middle East) and Sue, Office Manager, posts they held until Mike’s second retirement in June 2004.
