Conor Sherwood — Co-CEO & Director, EcoBore Solutions
My name is Conor Sherwood, Co-CEO and Director of EcoBore Solutions.
I founded EcoBore Solutions because drilling has been more than just a career to me. It has been my profession, my passion, and my way of life for over 18 years. Having grown up around heavy machinery and construction sites, I developed a deep respect for the industry from an early age. Working across the UK has taught me that success in drilling is built on experience, integrity, and doing every job properly the first time.
Throughout my career, I have worked across a wide range of drilling disciplines, including water boreholes, site investigation, geothermal drilling, piling, and soakaway installations. Every project has presented its own challenges, from varying ground conditions to complex engineering requirements, allowing me to build extensive practical knowledge across the sector. Over the years, I have been involved in the successful completion of boreholes nationwide.
As the renewable energy sector continued to grow, I recognised the increasing demand for high-quality geothermal drilling delivered by experienced professionals who genuinely understand the importance of precision and long-term performance. Too often, projects were compromised by shortcuts and poor workmanship. I knew there was a better way.
EcoBore Solutions was established to provide a professional, dependable drilling service built on traditional values: honesty, reliability, quality workmanship, and accountability. We believe every metre drilled should be completed to the highest standard because what lies beneath the surface is just as important as what people see above it.
We are proud to be a family-run business where every project receives personal attention from an experienced team. Alongside me, Robert Rourke helps lead the company, while Karl plays an integral role in the continued growth of the business.
Today, EcoBore Solutions provides specialist drilling services throughout the UK, delivering solutions for domestic, commercial, and industrial clients. Whether we’re installing a single borehole for a family home or delivering a large-scale renewable energy project, we approach every contract with the same commitment to quality and professionalism.
Choosing the right drilling contractor is one of the most important decisions for any ground engineering project. When you work with EcoBore Solutions, you’re choosing a company that values transparency, communication, and quality above everything else. You’ll deal directly with experienced professionals who take pride in every stage of the project, from the initial consultation through to completion.
With more than 18 years of industry experience and successful boreholes completed across the UK, our reputation has been built on trust, technical expertise, and consistently delivering results for our clients.
At EcoBore Solutions, we are passionate about helping shape a more sustainable future through high-quality drilling solutions. Every project we complete reflects our commitment to excellence, environmental responsibility, and customer satisfaction.
We look forward to helping bring your project to life.
