MANCHESTER-BASED UAV INSPECTION
Sky Based Solutions Across Greater Manchester and Cheshire
SBS CIC is an aerial drone service provider with an emphasis on environmentally-conscious practices and sustainability.
Our mission, as drone operators based in Manchester, is two-pronged. Firstly, as mentioned, we want to support and promote sustainable practices for a variety of industries, with our drone service that can provide real value, as well as helping your business reduce its impact on the planet. We are also a registered CIC, which relates to our other goal – we want to provide working opportunities for those who have sustained life-changing injuries, which have rendered them disabled. Opportunities for people in those positions are limited, when it comes to a return to work. We're here to give people the second chance they deserve, thanks to our Manchester-based UAV inspection

Joseph Barnaby
CEO and Founder
Joseph Barnaby is the CEO and founder of Sky Based Solutions CIC, a Manchester-based social enterprise that offers drone-based services. Joseph has a passion for active sports, but his love for aviation and the aerospace industry started long before he began skydiving in 2014 and later took up BASE jumping in 2018. Despite suffering a severe accident in 2020 that ended his professional skydiving career and rendered him disabled Joseph's passion for the aviation industry has only grown stronger. He is also interested in geospatial services and environmental work and how drones can be used in these fields.
A Charitable Focus.

He founded Sky Based Solutions CIC to create opportunities for disabled individuals in the drone industry, with a specific focus on geospatial services and environmental work. The social enterprise offers training and employment opportunities for disabled individuals, breaking down barriers to a meaningful career and empowering them to reach their full potential.
Sky Based Solutions CIC offers a range of drone-based services, including aerial photography and videography, surveying and mapping, and inspection services for various industries.

This, in turn, creates a positive impact on society by breaking down barriers to employment and empowering individuals who may have otherwise been overlooked in the job market.
Voluntary Emergency Support.
Another element of our service is the support we provide to search and rescue teams. We are able to provide drone support in a variety of emergency scenarios, including search and rescue. With a birds-eye view, we can assist you in identifying missing persons, injured hikers and the like.
Please reach out in the event of an emergency. We are happy to provide assistance whenever we can.
