The British Drilling Association (BDA) is pleased to welcome three new companies to its growing membership: Geol Consultants Ltd, SEP Geotech Ltd, and White Rabbit Site Investigation. Each brings a distinct focus and technical incite to the BDA, further strengthening the Association’s representation across the drilling, geotechnical, and geoenvironmental sectors.
As the trade body committed to promoting best practice and raising standards across the drilling industry, the BDA continues to attract members aligned with its values of professionalism, safety, and innovation. All new contractor members within scope are subject to the BDA Audit, which helps ensure that member organisations demonstrate competence across a wide range of critical operational areas including health and safety, sustainability, training, and equipment standards.
Commenting on the new additions, BDA Chair, Mark Toye, said: “We are delighted to welcome Geol Consultants, SEP Geotech, and White Rabbit Site Investigation to the Association. Each of these organisations brings unique strengths and a shared commitment to excellence in drilling practice. As our industry evolves, the BDA continues to grow in expertise and influence, thanks to the ongoing engagement of companies like these.”
BDA membership continues to offer access to an influential network of drilling professionals, ongoing technical updates, industry-wide guidance, and the opportunity to shape standards and best practice. As the voice of the drilling sector, the BDA provides a platform for contractors, consultants, clients, and suppliers to collaborate, raise standards, and drive forward industry progress.
BDA membership is open to all, including contractors with Level 2 VQ certified drillers, non-contracting suppliers (plant, equipment and materials), consultants, and clients.
