Croydon, UK, 3 February 2010 - GGP Systems is planning to host a series of gazetteer management seminars for Fire and Rescue Services across the UK. There is an upcoming free seminar being held on Friday 5th March at Warwick Castle.

The ‘Addressing Issues’ seminar will feature an update on the development of the National Land and Property Gazetteer from custodians and addressing specialists.  This will be accompanied by a series of case studies from organisations that have already implemented the data and are using it on a day-to-day basis to gain service improvements and operational efficiencies.

We would like to give people in the Fire and Rescue sector the opportunity to get together to discuss the issues surrounding effective gazetteer management and to see how organisations are reaping the benefits from the right solution.

We are currently assessing the interest by region and will proceed on this basis.
