Company History

We are a family-owned company, really proud of the story of how we started and became the successful company we are today.

Bryken was founded by engineers Brian Taylor and Ken Dovaston with just six cam auto machines and a commitment to exceptional customer service. By the early 1990s, the company had grown steadily, occupying 1,200 sq. ft and operating 25 machines.

In 1992, we acquired High Speed Turnings, boosting capacity and workforce. By 1994, the business moved to larger premises, investing heavily in equipment and introducing 24/7 operations. By 2001, Bryken had expanded to 63,000 sqft and owned 35 CNC machines.

Continuous investment saw facilities grow to over 60,000 sq ft. Despite challenges like the 2008 recession, Bryken increased turnover by £8m in three years and was recognised as one of the UK’s most inspirational companies.

Now operating over 55 CNC machines, Bryken serves diverse industries with advanced machining capabilities. Still family-owned, the next generation leads with a focus on training, innovation, and local employment.

Committed to Quality and Continuous Improvement

At Bryken, quality is fundamental to everything we do. For over 25 years, our BS5750/ ISO 9001 certification has reflected our commitment to the highest standards.

We’ve built our reputation by consistently exceeding client expectations in high precision industries, backed by a rigorous Quality Management System focused on continuous improvement.

Continuous Investment

We continually invest in cutting edge technologies as well as training our engineering and quality teams to ensure they are always knowledgeable with the very latest regulations, techniques and requirements.
