About

It all started when...

In 2012 two great mates decided to join forces and create a great company.   After completing the Coast -to-Coast challenge, they focused on continuing their great team-work into the work domain.  After a few drams of Scottish Whisky the name was born: Heavily Soiled Earthworks.
