2019 proved to be another record-breaking year for leading medical supplies company, DP Medical Systems.

The Surrey-based organisation celebrated its fifth consecutive year of increasing turnover rising up to £4.9m in 2019.

In addition, each division of the company including dental, hospital and services, has grown substantially over the period and increasing profits has allowed the company to embark on a number of exciting developments over the past 12 months including investing in more demonstration equipment to meet demand, opening up an office in northern England and establishing a dedicated company in Ireland.

Rob Atkinson, managing director of DP Medical, said: “We’re really pleased to have continued to hit our ambitious growth targets during 2019. This has been achieved despite the backdrop of recent  economic uncertainty but our business has robust plans in place which has allowed us to grow not just here in the UK but also most notably in Ireland and also across other parts of Europe and the middle east which has been extremely impressive.

“Alongside our HQ in Surrey, we now have an office in Stockport, Greater Manchester which has given us another option when it comes to where staff can be based from and improved the customer experience for our clients based away from the south of England who need repairs or have further customer care needs.

“But our expansion hasn’t stopped there. We also set up a company in Ireland, based in Dublin, to help us build our business within both the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland markets ensuring we enhance our sales and service coverage to our Irish customers and seek out further opportunities so we can continue to grow and develop.

“In addition, we have worked on some really exciting and prestigious projects over the last 12 months including the world renowned UCLH dental hospital in London and with the speech and language therapy sector where we have seen demand for our XION products really take off.

“It’s a great start to 2020 which is set to be another good year for us as we look to increase our staff numbers, build on the exceptional service we’re already known for and move into new markets within the healthcare sector such as theatres and hysteroscopy clinics.

“Our dedicated team continue to go above and beyond for our customers, and I am really proud of each and every one of them as they have all played their part in making DP Medical the company it is today.”

After establishing a separate company to serve the Irish market only last year, DP Medical continues to go from strength-to-strength.

Added Owen: “We are really pleased with how things are progressing in Ireland. We have worked in the country for a number of years already and have seen the obvious potential, so we knew it was a market we wanted to invest in further.

“By establishing an Irish company, with Thomas Cryan, our sales and service representative permanently based in Dublin and covering both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, we are ensuring we continue to enhance our sales and service coverage to our Irish customer base and seek out further opportunities so we can continue to grow and develop.

DP Medical has installed some vital endoscopy equipment for use by the speech and language therapy (SLT) team at St Mary’s Hospital in London which is managed by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

The XION EndoFLEX, a mobile endoscopy unit for ENT, provides innovative and convenient technology for optimal diagnostics and therapeutics. The new digital device enables the processing and archiving of picture, video and many diverse digital data, being constantly updatable.

The stack unit can serve as a standalone or be integrated into the existing office facilities. It is also easily manoeuvrable making it ideal for swallowing diagnostics applications anywhere in the hospital.

The SLT team were over the moon to receive the equipment which will have an immediate and significant impact on all aspects of the service improving patient care, efficient service delivery, staff learning and development, MDT working, quality improvement and research projects.

Lee Bolton, lead speech and language therapist at St Mary’s Hospital, said: “We were very excited to take receipt of this long-awaited, brand new FEES system for providing endoscopic swallowing evaluations to patients with dysphagia. This replaces the current equipment which was very old and no longer fit for purpose. The new equipment purchase was kept as a complete surprise with delivery timed to take place just before Christmas, so there were smiles all round when it was delivered to the office and the team received their training.”

Owen Pemberton, commercial director for DP Medical, said: “We were so pleased to bring some early festive cheer and drop off the XION equipment to the team at St Mary’s! They were delighted to receive it and enjoyed the training so they are ready to go which will only be of benefit to their many ENT patients.”
