How it all started

Formedin1952bythelateDavidPaull,apassionatemotorcycle

rider who, frustrated at not being able to obtain parts to rebuild his

motorcycles, decided he would make them himself.

DP Engineering grew out of the need of the market, and the

investment in a skilled workforce and high quality machinery

allowed the business to diversify its manufacturing output, a

philosophy that runs through the heart of the company still.

The original production for the motorcycles became less of a focus

due to the increased demand in other areas requiring precision

engineering. This part of the business was sold and now exists as

The Cornwall Engine Company - thus permitting DP Engineering

to concentrate all effort on developing the precision engineering

aspects of the Company. David Proctor, the present Managing

Director, who was then a good customer of the company, joined

forces with David Paull with the aim to develop the business

into the leading contract precision engineering company that

exists today.

The skilled, dedicated workforce utilising up-to-date machinery, has

allowed the company to offer an extensive range of engineering

capabilities. It has become recognised as one of the truly advanced

engineeringcompaniesintheSouthwest,yetitstillretainsa‘family

feel’ within a highly professional, productive working environment -

exemplified by the very low staff turnover.

DPEngineeringownsitspremiseswithover£2millionofplant,and

has a continual investment policy into state-of-the-art machinery

and training to maintain its position as a major supplier of precision

engineered components to the medical, aerospace, defence,

marine, appliance control, hydraulics, pneumatics, fibre optic, oil

and gas and leisure industries.

Operational management

The Quality Management System operated by DP Engineering is based on

diligently complying with, and maintaining relevant operations to high standards

through a continual development programme in all areas of activity.

The commitment to quality is based on effective and consistent implementation

of all operational systems to reflect customer and business requirements, the

result of which is continued customer satisfaction.

Defined in the Company ‘Quality Manual’, the aim is to provide ‘correct, defect

free manufactured products, on time and within budget’. Internal training and

communication with all staff of the importance of the production quality is a key

factor to maintaining high quality output. On-going monitoring of performance

criteria helps ensure these aims are adhered to, and through regular review

processes we measure the relevance and effectiveness of our QMS.

Operational standards

The precision engineering industry demands not only high quality product

deliverables but also the knowledge that the manufacturing process,

quality control and operation of the company, meet industry standards and

expectations. DP Engineering meet and comply with all required regulatory

standards and have developed a Quality Management System based on

AS9100 and ISO 9001:2008 requirements. In addition the company is working

towards the Aerospace and Defence SC21 Award for 2009.

Quality control is paramount; the company has a qualified AS Auditor in the

position of Quality Manager in addition to state-of-the-art precision inspection

equipment, which we regard as a crucial part of the engineering process thus

ensuring an exacting quality of output.

Accreditations

What is ISO 9001:2008?

ISO accreditation is an international standard

assuring good quality management practices. It

provides a tried and tested framework for taking a

systematic approach to managing our approach to

the processes involved in manufacturing components. It ensures

that we consistently manufacture components which not only

meet but exceed our customers’ expectations.

What is AS/EN9100?

AS/EN9100 is widely recognised as the preferred

quality management system for the aerospace

industry. In short, it is a model for high quality

assurance in design development, production,

installation and servicing; it provides general good working

ethics and standards which can be applied to all areas

of our business and contracts, including application to the

stringent standards required in the medical sector.

The Aerospace and Defence SC21 Award

We are members of, and work in conjunction with, the Cornwall

Aerospace Defence Initiative (CADI) and the West of England

Aerospace Forum (WEAF), towards this accreditation.

The Aerospace and Defence SC21 Award

What is the Aerospace and Defence SC21 Award?

The 21st Century Supply Chain Scheme is an industrial change
