About Us

The story of Dura Pump

Back in 1975, the first seed of Dura Pump was planted in a garage attached to a house in Northampton. The desire was to provide a high-quality engineering service that was reliable and professional. A strong team of experienced engineers and consultants ensure you receive a wealth of knowledge and services that you can trust.
