Multivista : Civil Engineer Charles Hill Built His Multivista Franchise in London

This video introduces Charles Hill, the Multivista franchise partner for London, who explains why he and business partner Carl chose to bring the brand's construction-documentation service to the UK market. Hill positions the franchise as the opportunity to grow a large and sustainable business with strong margin potential over many years of operation. Hill walks through his own background first. He trained as a civil engineer at Loughborough University and then secured a job with a Tier-one general contractor, working on the Crossrail project — a roughly £16 billion underground line that he points out is the largest infrastructure project in Europe. The experience exposed him to a recurring problem on the site. Large disputes on Crossrail were repeatedly held up by a serious lack of visual records from the project. Hill and Carl took that pain point to market and started a reselling business focused on documentation hardware and support technology, which they still operate. As demand grew they saw scope to add a service offering — photos, videos, point-cloud scans, 3D immersive scans and UAV-based aerial documentation — and approached Multivista. The London Multivista operation has been launched roughly three to four weeks at the time of filming, with a few jobs already in the pipeline. Hill closes on why he enjoys the role: the excitement of closing jobs, the variety of every day, and his belief that the early-stage administrative effort will pay back as the territory scales out across the city.
