IAN WILKINSON Managing Director
Organisation, determination and resilience, three key words that I believe is vital when running a business. I am the Managing Director at Precision Drilling 2000 Ltd. I had joined the company in 2013 as Managing Director, also covering all aspects of running a very reactive business to industries requiring our services.
I had started as a RAF/Operations/Engineering manager for 20 years. Changing paths to part-qualified accountant for 2 years. Moving to a Continuous Improvement Manager for various large manufacturing organisations for 10 years, then leading to a Planning Manager for a large manufacturing company for 3 years. However, I have found my home at Precision Drilling 2000 Ltd, surrounded by fantastic individuals.
In what spare time I have, I like to keep fit in the gym as well as walking at the weekends with family and the dog, watching a local rugby league team which we sponsor. I also enjoy attending local music & beer festivals.
MIKE ARNOLD Operations Manager
I’ve been in the diamond drilling and sawing industry for thirty six years since leaving school at sixteen, first as a drilling and sawing operative before moving up to the role of operations manager in 2008.
My role as operations manger is to price up potential work, write up method statements/risk assessments, allocate jobs to the operatives and ensure they are carried out efficiently, on time and to a high standard.
In my time away from work I enjoy live music, travel and watching my local rugby league team. I also play the ukulele (badly) and am a craft beer enthusiast.
TONY APPLEYARD Finance Manager
I joined the company in 2013 and I am the Finance Manager and act as a Health & Safety role for the company. My current role involves responsibility and management for all finance & accounts functions of the company and in a health & safety co-ordination role including our CHAS accreditation.
Since leaving school with ‘O’ & ‘A’ Levels I have continued to study and have a BTEC ONC (Level 3) & BTEC HNC (Level 4) in Business & Finance. I also have studied a Level 3 NVQ in Business & Administration and a Level 2 NVQ in Sage Accounting. Previously, I have worked for 30 years in the Civil Service training sector in several roles largely finance, accounts and audit based.
In my spare time I enjoy reading and walking in the countryside. I love attending a range of sporting events, particularly rugby league and horse racing.
HAYLEY WILKINSON Director
I joined Precision Drilling 2000 Ltd with my husband as a Director in 2016. I have also become the HR Manager, as well as organising the training for our employees – as health and safety is paramount within our business. I am qualified in Business and Administration, so I have a greater understanding of the nature of leadership, organisation and communication.
I previously worked for 10 years in an administrative role for a public sector. Overall, gaining 30+ years’ experience in a busy working environment.
In my spare time I enjoy taking my dog for a stroll in the countryside, reading, swimming and travelling the world.
Our operatives are all fully CSCS carded and have certificates in UKATA, CCNSG (safety passport), IPAF, face fit testing, PASMA, Confined Spaces and working at height, they are all highly skilled and provide excellent quality work. We also have skilled individuals with 35+ years experience.
OUR COMMITMENT
We are dedicated to exceeding our clients' expectations and ensuring complete satisfaction. Our experienced, long-standing staff work closely with clients, providing expert advice and responsive service. We continue to invest in new equipment and technology, as well as training and apprenticeship programs, to maintain our position as industry leaders.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
“Having used Precision Drilling Ltd over the years and with Ian for the last 14 years, Wright Civil Engineering have found their work efficient, on time, competitively priced and safe. Precision Drilling respond to our requirements very quickly and are very flexible and overcome situations if events change on site. As a company we have used them on many private and public sector works. I would recommend Ian and his team to carry out any drilling or cutting of concrete and asphalt products.”
