The company started as Water, Environment & Geo Services Ltd. (WEGS Consultants) in Uganda in 1997. In 2003 Water, Environment and Geo Services Ltd started operating under the trade name WE Consult, and incorporated a second company in Mozambique. In 2010, WE Consult shareholders formed the company AquaQuest. These three companies collaborate closely within the framework of the WE Group.

The long period of regional experience has resulted in a base of trusted local partners and contractors, providing ready services for projects in any field of expertise.
