News
In 2019 Washingtons took over McNeill Drilling in Southland, a well-known and trusted brand that had been in business servicing the district for over 100 years. Washingtons have retained the same knowledgeable and friendly staff and equipment locally. This has now expanded our equipment base from South Canterbury down to Invercargill.
