About Us
It
all
began
when
two
medical
gas
service
engineers
recognised
the
need
for
a
more
flexible,
efficient,
and
cost-effective
solution to maintenance of Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS) that were present in general hospitals serving the NHS.
In
February
1994
Denis
Read
&
Les
Hood
decided
to
form
a
partnership
to
deliver
their
goals
of
bespoke
engineering
services to NHS & private hospitals.
Starting
with
a
handful
of
hospitals,
who
embraced
the
fresh
approach
which
the
company
had
to
offer,
we
gradually
increased
our
customer
base
offering
tailored
medical
gas
equipment
maintenance
and
servicing
which
today
remains
our main core passion.
Although
starting
out
initially
as
a
maintenance
provider,
it
soon
became
apparent
that
our
maintenance
processes
required
a
level
of
installation
input.
We
were
increasingly
asked
by
our
clients
to
carry
out
installation
works
ranging
from
plant
and
manifold
replacements
to
ward
and
infrastructure
upgrades.
The
team
embraced
this
opportunity
and
structured a new installation department.
The
team,
being
focused
on
quality
and
compliance,
soon
realised
an
opportunity
to
invest
and
expand
its
portfolio
into
professional services with consultancy, design, and authorised persons services.
Understanding
from
the
outset
that
as
a
young
company,
we
would
have
to
demonstrate
a
high
level
of
Quality
Assurance.
We
gained
accreditation
to
BS5750,
as
the
quality
assurance
standard
was
known
then.
As
quality
assurance
requirements
changed,
so
did
D&L
Medical’s.
Currently
we
are
registered
with
BSI
to
both
ISO9001
for
general
quality
assurance and ISO13485 for medical device compliance purposes.
Today
we
have
established
ourselves
as
a
major
contractor
in
the
medical/industrial
gases
field
but
ultimately,
we
are
still
focused
on
our
main
aim
of
providing
excellent
maintenance
and
installation
services
across
NHS
&
Private
healthcare
establishments, laboratories, and universities.
Offering
and
delivering
such
a
portfolio
of
services
is
down
to
the
dedication
of
the
whole
team,
a
team
I
am
extremely
proud to be part of.
