Personnel

Magpie operates with a relatively flat and effective management structure to ensure that operations are well planned, executed and delivered on time and on budget. Our team are always happy to help and respond at the earliest possible opportunity to any issues that arise before, during or after the works.
The team bring over 50 years drilling experience and includes a fully qualified geologist, mud drilling expert, H&S Manager and Financial Controller. We have recently begun to develop a bespoke ground source energy project management software system which will further boost our capacity to deliver projects effectively and efficiently.
Magpie is commended for their professional attitude to their works and this reaps benefits through repeat business and installation partnerships with some of the largest renewable energy companies in the UK.
Magpie is known for our relaxed and uncomplicated approach to commercial issues and we are happy to offer fixed price contracts on works where we have been provided with good reliable information. We are not a contractual company and always work closely with the client to mitigate any variations or give as much notice as possible where they are unavoidable.
