Lee-Dickens has been involved in the design, development and
manufacture of electronic industrial process control and instrumentation
systems and equipment since 1964. In the early 1970s we supplied
our first equipment to military requirements. Since then our engineering
department has grown into a team of hardware and software design
engineers with many years experience. We pride ourselves in being
able to produce equipment to satisfy our military customer's requirements
and continued development of our industrial products provides an
ideal base for developing equipment to the high technological, performance
and quality standards required by the MoD.
 The
first equipment developed for military use dates back to 1970 and
was accepted following modifications to standard industrial designs.
Since then we have developed and manufactured a wide range of electronic
modules, equipment and systems in conjunction with our customers
engineering staff. The equipment has been subjected to the stringent
environmental and EMC tests that are necessary before it can be
used in submarines and surface ships and has given reliable service
under arduous operational conditions.
Major customers for Military equipment include: BAe Systems (Barrow),
Rolls Royce plc and the Ministry of Defence directly. We have also
supplied equipment to the majority of the companies in the British
Shipbuilders Warships Division.
All of our equipment is designed and manufactured to the high standards
demanded by the MoD and we recognise the importance of long term
repair and spares facilities. Our factory based test department
is equipped to offer a full refurbishment repair and test facility
for the equipment which we have supplied, and our spares department
adequate logistic support which minimise customer spares requirements.
In the early 1970s our quality control system was approved to MOD
05-21 and subsequently AQAP 1 & 13. In August 1994 the AQAP 1 &
13 registration expired and we are now registered with the BSI and
accredited to: BS EN ISO9001 and the software requirement ISO9003:Tick-IT
The scope of the registration is as follows: Design, Manufacture,
Support and Repair of Industrial and Military Electronic Process
Instrumentation, Telemetry and SCADA Equipment and Systems
