day for us, 35 years ago on the 15th of July 1985,my late parents, Walter andMargaret, set upDALROD. Iwas inmy last year of school and I probably didn’t realise the time, hardwork and commitmentmy parents had to put into the
business.They set our values and our standards, and these are some of the same values and standards that weworkwith today. I’ve had the pleasure ofworkingwith some great people along theway: some very good people, and some not so good people, but all these people have had a great part to play in our
success.Todaywe employ over 50 staffacross our three groups,we’ve got:DALROD,DALPUMPS andDALPEST andwe have an established network of franchisees across the country. I’d personally like to thank all our staff, franchisees and supplies,who have all played their part in buildingDALRODover the past 35 years.
