History

The Company was founded by a Mr Duke and a Mr Ockenden who in 1867 sank the first Tubewell to ensure a clean water supply in Littlehampton, England, following an outbreak of Cholera.[1] The name Dando is a contraction of the founder's names.

In 1868 the Company supplied Tubewells for Abyssinia.[1]

The Company began operating worldwide, supplying drilling services, equipment, waterwells, windmills and pumps. As time went on the emphasis gradually moved towards equipment design and manufacture.[1]

In 2006 the Company acquired Southern Drilling Services, based nearby in Ford, near Arundel.
