# Firefly Aerial Limited
Firefly Aerial is a Cambridge-based commercial drone services provider delivering aerial photography, videography and sensor data collection across the UK. Operating since 2019, the company specialises in capturing high-resolution imagery and technical data from altitudes up to 120 metres using a fleet of professionally-operated unmanned aerial vehicles.
The business serves surveyors, architects, construction firms, energy and utility companies, media organisations, agricultural businesses and property owners. Their core offering encompasses aerial inspection of inaccessible infrastructure such as rooftops, industrial equipment and telecommunications masts—eliminating the need for costly scaffolding or rope access work. They also conduct large-scale aerial mapping projects, producing georeferenced orthomosaics, digital elevation models and photogrammetric point clouds for site analysis and planning purposes.
What distinguishes Firefly Aerial is their emphasis on compliance and professionalism. The company holds full UK Civil Aviation Authority Permission for Commercial Operations, with all pilots certified for both day and night flights. They maintain £2m public liability insurance and conduct comprehensive risk assessments before every operation. Their team brings thousands of hours of accumulated flight experience, supported by expertise in advanced sensor technologies including infrared, multispectral and LiDAR capabilities.
Rather than positioning themselves as budget operators, Firefly Aerial justifies their premium positioning through delivering safer, faster alternatives to traditional methods of working at height or obtaining aerial data. Their commitment centres on reliability: "We always deliver what we promise."
