Apex was set up in 1992 to provide specialist drilling services to the South Wales coal industry and since then has rapidly grown and diversified to become one of the major drilling contractors in the UK. The management team and drill crews have a wealth of experience in all aspects of drilling and pride themselves in providing a professional, high quality and cost effective service. Unsurprisingly, the company still specialises in mineral exploration drilling and provides drilling advice and services to all of the major public and private coal prospecting and mining companies across the UK. Through careful strategic acquisitions, Apex now has one of the largest modern fleets of drilling rigs in the UK and has expanded to provide drilling services to site investigation, water well and geothermal (ground source) projects.
