The PRO-DIG Story
The PRO-DIG Story began on the sandy beaches of Devon, England in the early 1970’s. As other kids would play in the sea or kick a football around with their friends and family, PRO-DIG founder Mike Charlton was busy digging large deep holes with a dollar spade and bucket set, invariably most of these holes would collapse or be washed away by the stinging cold English waters. Mike would strive each time to improve his design and methods, and thus this five year old kid began a lifetime fascination with digging. If he was not at the beach digging away on family vacations Mike could be found in his family garden reconstructing the flower beds and vegetable plot with his fleet of construction Tonka toys. (Much to the annoyance of his garden proud father Derek)
Roll forward forty years and Mike now heads up a multinational, multi-location Drilling Equipment and tooling manufacturer. PRO-DIG is known globally for its unique state of the art solution based equipment and being able to solve many of the issues drilling and piling contractors face on a day to day basis.
