Dick Howard has been in the field of water equipment since 1966. After University in the Faculty of Agriculture, he worked as a water driller for Southern Cross Machinery, Toowoomba, then in 1966 entered their rigorous 9-month training course, before being posted to Warwick as their Field Engineer.
In 1970 he joined Oil Drilling & Exploration Pty Ltd, designing and installing cross-country water supply pipelines with diesel-driven pumps, building access roads, airstrips, and rig sites in Central Australian deserts.
In late 1973 he established his own business in Warwick, which expanded from pumps sales and repairs to water drilling, bore services, manufacture of fibreglass tanks and pre-cast concrete products, swimming pool supply and installation, and earth moving.
Best Quality Products
Dick realised through experience that reliability is absolutely essential with all water supplies. He concentrated on quality rather than just on price. Ultimately, it became evident that the better quality equipment with proper design and service to back it is far more reliable and economical to own in the long run.
Prompt Service
Many of his customers have livestock, so water availability is a must. Dick and his team operate every day of the year if their services are required. Consequently, Dick Howard Pumps stocks a very broad range of pumps, pipe fittings, spare motors and other components to enable prompt service.
