Two entrepreneurial engineers, Gerry Cardno and Harold Davies, recognised the huge potential growth in post-World War II Australia.

In 2002, while on course for global expansion, the company became ‘Cardno’ and hasn’t looked back. From early beginnings as a Brisbane-based engineering firm, Cardno is now a global company on a mission to shape the future for communities around the world. Company History Originating in Brisbane in 1945 as a small engineering consultancy known as Cardno & Davies – contributing significantly to the development of Queensland through the post-war boom years – Cardno today has over 6,000 staff worldwide delivering physical, environmental and social infrastructure projects in more than 100 countries. We have much to celebrate in our history, and our future. Gerry Cardno and Harold Davies were local engineers employed by the United States Army Australian Base Command in Brisbane during the Second World War. Davies was a visionary engineer who was part of the team that created one of the most internationally recognisable Australian structures, the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Following the end of World War II, the two men combined their engineering expertise to establish Brisbane-based consultancy Cardno & Davies. During the post-war boom years through to the 1970s, Cardno & Davies was a driving force in the development of Queensland. The company designed and supervised the construction of water supplies, bridges, dams and roads throughout the state, as well as sewerage systems in Brisbane and regional towns. Cardno & Davies designed the first residential canals in Australia, at Florida Gardens on Queensland's Gold Coast. During this time, Cardno had offices in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Papua New Guinea. In 1997, when Andrew Buckley joined as Managing Director, Cardno had 180 employees and an annual turnover of AU$14 million. In a fundamental move for the company, Cardno & Davies in 1999 merged with McMillan, Britton & Kell, a consulting engineering practice based in New South Wales Australia with origins dating back to 1936. The company then became known as Cardno MBK. Following the 1999 merger, Cardno grew from strength to strength through mergers with other Australian consulting companies and the organic growth of its existing operations in Queensland and New South Wales. Cardno’s service areas steadily grew to encompass a broad range of planning, surveying, engineering and environmental services, as well as project management of development assistance programs internationally. In 2002 Cardno MBK was rebranded as simply Cardno as we commenced the next cycle of growth for the group. This was a pivotal time for Cardno, with growth high on the agenda. In May 2004, Cardno Limited (ASX: CDD) listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, allowing access to funds for major expansion. In 2007, we broke into the North American consulting market with the acquisition of WRG Design Inc. We also made our first move into New Zealand.
