Dudley Safes Limited was founded in 1982 by brothers Mike and Jeff Macefield and continues to the present day as a family run business. Dudley Safes has emerged as one of the country’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of free standing cash safes underfloor safes, wall safes and security cabinets.

Meeting the qualifying requirement of ISO 9001 Quality Assurance Certification, permitted Dudley Safes to submit safes to the Loss Prevention Certification board (LPCB) for testing and grading in accordance with established CEN standards. As a consequence, Dudley now manufacture a range of Euro-rated safes certified in compliance with Grade 0, Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3. The entire product range is known and approved by all major UK insurance underwriters.

The company’s rapid growth has been due in part to it’s reputation for the rapid completion of orders, (an average turnaround time of just seven to ten days) and the commitment of one of the largest distribution networks in the British security industry.
