P & H PRECISION LIMITED

What P & H PRECISION LIMITED does

P&H Precision Ltd is a UK private limited company founded in 2011 that operates a single-site precision CNC machining service business from Unit 4, Unit Factory Estate, Northumberland Avenue, Hull, HU2 0LN, employing approximately five people. The company delivers custom-machined components — primarily through milling and turning — on a quote-based project basis to B2B industrial buyers, with capability spanning small-batch prototypes through high-volume production runs and parts up to 1.5m+ in size. Its plant comprises 13 CNC machine centres (nine Hurco VM10i units, one Hurco VMX30Ui 5-axis, one VMX60Mi, one VM30i, one VM20i, one XYZ SMX 2500 bed mill) plus three XYZ CNC lathes (CT65, CT52, VL355 Proturn), supported by in-house finishing services including Bright Zinc Plating, Chemical Black and Anodising. The business is run by two co-founder directors — Martyn Harper (Director & Sales) and Dave (Director) — who between them bring 50+ years of CNC machining experience, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 accreditation.

The company serves seven diversified industrial verticals: Robotics & Automation, Hydraulics, Printing, Laser Systems, Packaging, Medical, and Food Machinery, with no single end-market disclosed as dominant. Customer acquisition is sales-led via direct outreach, the company website (phprecision.co.uk), industry reputation and referrals; there are no distributors, resellers, partnership channels, apps, APIs, or recorded M&A activity. Marketing is minimal — limited to a website with sector pages, a gallery portfolio, and the Director's LinkedIn profile. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is not reported. The company is wholly founder-owned and independent, with no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no patents or trademarks on record.

From an investment standpoint, P&H is a sub-scale, founder-operated regional subcontract machine shop whose principal assets are the founders' tenure, a capital-intensive Hurco-led 13-machine plant, ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, and a deliberately diversified seven-vertical customer base. The defining constraints are its micro headcount (~5), single Yorkshire facility, undisclosed revenue, zero external capital, and an absence of disclosed AI, software, or platform capabilities.

Direct peers

• Protolabs: Digital manufacturing platform offering CNC machining (alongside injection molding and 3D printing) to industrial customers needing prototype-to-production runs. Comparable on precision CNC service delivery, but operates at much larger scale via automated quoting and an on-demand model.
• Pentangle Engineering Services: UK precision engineering subcontractor offering CNC milling, turning, and finishing services to industrial clients. Directly comparable in business model (project-based CNC subcontract work), customer segment (industrial OEMs), and service breadth (small-batch prototyping through volume production).
• Dawson Shanahan: UK-based precision machining specialist producing tight-tolerance copper and aluminium components from bar stock for similar industrial OEM customers. Operates as a comparable subcontract CNC machining job shop with overlapping sector exposure in hydraulics, electrical, and industrial automation.
• Croft Engineering Services: UK precision machining and subcontract manufacturing firm serving industrial sectors with CNC milling, turning, and surface finishing. Closely comparable mid-sized UK job-shop profile with similar full-service offering from prototyping to production.

Broad incumbents

• Bodycote plc: Listed UK provider of heat treatment and surface finishing services to precision engineering manufacturers. Comparable as a complementary service-tier player; not a direct CNC machining competitor but serves the same customers and competes for in-house finishing wallet share.
• IMI plc: UK-listed precision engineering group focused on fluid control and motion products, including precision machined sub-assemblies. Serves overlapping industrial automation and hydraulics customer bases; represents a scaled precision engineering reference point.
• Senior plc: UK-listed engineered components group operating precision machining and fluid conveyance businesses serving aerospace, industrial, and defence OEMs. Much larger incumbent producing analogous precision components at industrial scale, with overlapping customer segments.

Emerging players

• Hubs: Global on-demand manufacturing marketplace that connects customers to CNC machining service bureaus (alongside other processes) across geographies. Emerging threat/comparator as industrial customers increasingly route RFQs through platforms rather than directly to local job shops.
• Xometry: On-demand marketplace for CNC machining and related manufacturing services, aggregating distributed supplier capacity under AI-driven quoting. Relevant as a marketplace competitor that can divert customers away from traditional local job shops like P&H.
