Family spirit
« In 1914, Jean Tesson, my grandfather, started a business project which had to be completed in 1919 due to WW1. The Tesson business came into being through the refrigeration industry and providing blocks of ice for fishing boats or personal cool boxes – we celebrated our 100th anniversary 31st March 2019! At Dartess we are always looking to the future whilst making the most of our experience. We are a company who strongly believe in being a business partner who assists our clients in their development and future projects. »
