In Great Britain, GeoPlace LLP is the guardian and champion of that information on a national scale. We act as a co-ordinator, supporting the nation’s street and addressing data creators, making that information widely available through Ordnance Survey and our statutory partners. Working together with our partners, we maintain one of the nation’s largest, most valuable shared assets – standardised address and street indexes that are trusted by the whole of the public sector, the private sector and beyond. At the heart of those two indexes (the National Address Gazetteer and the National Street Gazetteer), data users find two powerful data identifiers: Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) and Unique Street Reference Numbers (USRNs). These enable many different data sources to be connected with ease and with confidence. There is no duplication. No ambiguity. Accuracy is our watchword. The use of this data leads to lower risks and costs; higher productivity and profitability, and it brings down many of the practical barriers to transformation and innovation across both the public and private sector. Without exception, Britain runs more efficiently and effectively when service providers use UPRNs and USRNs – from next-day deliveries of online shopping, to planning street works, collecting meter readings, or directing the emergency services to the right address in a high-rise block of flats. Our data keeps Britain running smoothly. We are bringing location to life.
