About Us

Three decades of food metal detection, delivered personally

Brian Meek Technical Services Limited trades as UK Metal Detection, supporting food manufacturers who need their critical control points to work and to be provable.

Built on 30 years on the factory floor

UK Metal Detection was founded on a simple observation: plenty of food manufacturers own good metal detection equipment, but far fewer have the confidence that it is set up, tested and documented correctly.

 

With 30 years of hands-on experience across food production lines, we provide independent calibration, validation and training that gives quality managers real evidence rather than assumptions.

 

We are deliberately set up to suit small and medium manufacturers. You deal directly with an experienced engineer, you get straight answers, and where the diary allows we can be with you the same day.

The principles behind every visit

Food Safety First

Every decision we make on site is judged against one question: does this make the product safer for the consumer?

Straight Talking

We give honest advice about what your equipment can and cannot do, ensured with no unnecessary upselling.

Respect For Your Time

We plan visits around your production schedule and keep downtime to an absolute minimum.

Evidence, Not Opinion

Documented, repeatable results so you can prove due diligence at any point in the year.
