Our History
DP Medical Systems was founded in 1987 by our company namesake, the late Douglas (Doug) Pitman.
Expanding our Expertise
At the time, very few others were specialising in that area, so Doug started the company up on his own, selling microscopes and endoscopes, as well as video equipment for endoscopy and microscopy.
From there, the company evolved quickly, adding to its range of products.
For example, in the nineties, Doug saw an opportunity to use magnification in dentistry, and so started selling microscopes to the sector. DP Medical then established itself as a market leader for microscopes in dentistry, setting the standard for the industry.
Continuing the Vision
Today, this evolution continues as we keep on diversifying and exploring niche markets within the medical sector, offering our customers not only the very best products, but top-quality technical support and servicing, too.
The number of people we employ has also grown. The business began with just Doug, but today we have more than 40 members of staff across the UK and Ireland.
However, one thing that hasn’t changed is our philosophy not just sell equipment, but to offer quality servicing and technical support, too.
This was Doug’s commitment from day one and it remains at our core.
An eye for innovation
Doug’s entrepreneurial spirit and his eye for innovation were unwavering. He had an exceptional talent for focusing on niche markets and cultivating true expertise in those areas, becoming a true champion for finding untapped potential in the healthcare sector and always seeking to serve customers better and drive the company forward.
The company’s growth can be directly attributed to this forward-thinking approach to business and to Doug’s passion for customer care, earning the trust and loyalty of countless professionals in the medical and dental community over the years.
