Where we’ve been
Duncan Ross was initially formed in 1960 to provide the farming communities of the North West of England with agricultural land drainage services. During these early years, our services were concerned with the improved regulation and control of groundwater within arable soils to allow increased agricultural production and bring about improvements in crop yields.
We remain heavily involved in agricultural land drainage to this day, and now have a national remit and undertake work throughout the UK and the Isle of Man. During the last 50 years, we have built up an unrivalled wealth of experience in serving the land drainage needs of this key market sector.
Who we are
Our business is concerned with engineering solutions to maximise the potential of sportsturf, greenspace and other land assets in an environmentally responsible, cost effective and sustainable manner.
As a result of our uncompromising business and work ethic, repeat business constitutes a large part of our annual order book, and we are very proud of the fact that we enjoy long-lasting, close relationships with a large number of our clients throughout the UK.
Our experience in the field of turf management and maintenance, plus our unrivalled skills in drainage projects, guarantee excellent results. Effective planning and project management ensure that our projects are delivered on time, within budget and to quality standards that delight our clients.
Where we’re heading
At Duncan Ross Ltd we have articulated our vision in order to summarise our business ethos and to serve as a reminder for everyone within our organisation why we are so passionate about what we do and why we hold such an uncompromising position on quality and value of service.
As such, our vision is the backdrop against which we evaluate every decision we make and every action we take, whether they be concerned with a day-to-day project task or a long term strategic investment.
It underpins everything we do: ‘Our vision is to be the first-choice supplier of sportsturf, land drainage and greenspace services for all project stakeholders’.
Our Values
At Duncan Ross Ltd, we are committed to the highest standards of performance across all aspects of our business. Our values expressed here merely articulate the manner in which we approach business. They define how we think and how we act on a day-to-day basis and are reflective of how we approach business planning and decision making.
Excellence
Excellence is something we strive for in everything we do; not only in terms of the services we deliver but also in terms of our methods, attitudes, behaviours and performance.
Teamwork
Recognising that through teamwork, collaboration and the building of supportive relationships we can excel for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Respect
In performing our obligations we show the highest respect for the environment, the people, and the communities we interact with.
You can tell there’s a significant difference when you step off the playing surface and it’s quite boggy and soft, but when you step back on to the surface it’s firm, so there’s a marked difference in the areas that Duncan Ross Ltd have worked on.
