Founded in 1986 by David Bashford to provide electronic technical support to offshore oil-well service companies, Datem has grown considerably and now provides a diverse range of electronic and electromechanical services and products to a multi-market global client base. The company is now best known for its range of marine geotechnical survey equipment.

Following spells in Woking and Woodhall spa (Lincolnshire), Dave moved the company and his increasing band of 14 employees to our purpose built 4000 sq ft. facility in the Lincolnshire village of Metheringham close to our principal fabrication partners.

The facility includes a temperature stable calibration suite for the maintenance and calibration of our sub-sea geotechnical probes and a layered outside pit for the testing of various CPT equipment. Double height indoor workshop, open plan laboratory and tiered office space complete an excellent
working environment.
