Specialising primarily in Skip Hire, The DP Group was founded in 1992. Our chairman and founder Dave Price started out with only one lorry and five skips; continuous growth year on year now sees the business thrive at the forefront of the waste management industry.

The DP Group operation in the heart of Staffordshire has successfully tailored its business to supply industry leading and reliable services to both commercial and domestic clients.

Over the last 30 years The DP group have grown from strength to strength providing additional services to support our clients.

Whilst the business has seen rapid growth in recent years the core values of the family business still hold true – service, reliability, integrity and responsibility.
The business today is overseen by 3 directors with a team of 40 members of staff, all whom play a vital roll in maintaining our excellent standards in the services we provide.

In 1992 with just one wagon and 5 hand made skips, Dave formed The DP Group and has built the company into the successful business it is today.
As a young man Dave worked in Farming and Fabrication, core skills that enabled the successes of the business today.

Dave is a forward-thinking leader with hands-on experience of all The DP Groups capabilities and the operational knowledge to deliver a high quality service with value for money for both our domestic and commercial clients.

Being the oldest of the five DP children Jon has been on the full journey of The DP Groups growth and development.

From an early age Jon was in

After school Jon took an apprenticeship in bricklaying and whilst in the building trade Jon found that service and quality is paramount for any successful business alongside gaining a wealth of knowledge and contacts within the construction industry; the DP Group still supply services to Jon’s old contacts today.
