NationwideDroneServicesforMulti-SiteUKOperations

The British Association of Drone Operators (BADO) unites a growing network of 27+ vetted drone operators stationed across the country. We act as your single point of contact, dispatching the operator nearest to each of your sites so multi-site work runs to one plan, one standard and one contract. Our network handles spraying, spreading, seeding, solar panel cleaning and inspection services.

TheProblem

Your sites are spread all across the UK. 2,000 hectares split between four holdings, over 40 solar sites to maintain, 100 miles of motorway verge to seed. But no single drone contractor has enough national coverage to complete the whole job.

So you hire one contractor per region. Each one needs their own negotiation, insurance check, compliance file and invoice. Every contractor you add is another seperate point of failure.

A solo operator also cannot hold capacity for you. They cannot cover every site in the same weather window, step up when conditions move the schedule, or answer for the job when the work falls short.

BADO is the layer that solves this. We take your contract and split it between the vetted operators closest to each of your sites, then manage them on your behalf creating a single trusted point of contact.

HowItWorks,FromOneSitetoHundreds

Consultation (£0)

Tell us what you need doing, where the sites are and when. One field or forty sites, we treat both the same way. You get a plan back covering scope, timing and the cover we can give you.

Assignment (£0)

We search the network by location and shortlist the three to five vetted operators closest to each of your sites. Every one is insured and flying under the correct CAA authorisations.

Quotes

Those operators quote for the work through BADO, so you compare like for like in one place. You pick the quote you want, or several quotes if the work is split across a number of sites.

Delivery

For a single site we introduce you to your operator directly. For large multi-site contracts BADO manages the operators, the scheduling, the standards and all the admin on your behalf.

FoundedbyExpertOperators

After scaling Drone Spraying UK and Really Big Drone Company to leading market positions in the drone services industry we spotted a clear market need to unite drone operators under a single organisation. Fragmented operators can complete small contracts, but national organisations need scale, something individual operators cannot bring.

BADO's UK coverage is growing fast with operators now covering the South West of England entirely and large swathes of the North. We are here to help you get work done efficiently and scalably across all your sites.
