Medical and safety technology firm reports record year for its UK service division

A Blyth-headquartered medical and safety technology firm, which is part of the global Dräger Group, has announced its most successful year on record for its UK service division.

Draeger Safety UK has revealed that, within Dräger Safety Service, revenue rose by a double digit percentage figure in 2025.

The milestone demonstrates sustained momentum for the 137-year-old family-owned business, which employs 597 people in the UK and Ireland, having had a presence in the UK market for over 60 years.

Dräger Safety Services provides comprehensive lifecycle support for safety-critical equipment, including maintenance, testing, calibration, and both preventive and reactive repairs. Its Service offering is delivered through its 100+ strong team of specialist engineers who cover the UK and Ireland.

Matthew Bedford, managing director, Draeger Safety UK, said: “The growth of our service business is a natural evolution for Dräger. Our equipment – several lines of which are manufactured here in the UK – is recognised for its quality and long operational life, so ensuring it is professionally maintained is essential for our customers.

“Given the market conditions, it is more important than ever that we support our customers in maintaining their equipment to the highest standards, ensuring it remains reliable, efficient, and safe. This not only lowers the total cost of ownership but also demonstrates our commitment to environmental responsibility.”

Bob Larkin, service and training director at Draeger Safety UK, added: “The growth in our service business reflects Dräger’s ongoing investment in its people, from our skilled engineers to our dedicated customer service teams and contract specialists. We anticipate further growth over the coming years as increasing numbers of customers focus on maintaining their safety equipment to ensure reliability and achieving the best value from their investment.”
