About DBF
This family company was formed about 35 years ago.
The company originally operated from modest garage premises in
Takapuna, employing 2 or 3 tradesmen. It has progressed considerably
since those early beginnings and now owns modern factory premises at 8
Ascension Place, Mairangi Bay and employs 11 people.
Douglas
B.Foote Ltd has continued to provide production and general machining
services as well as diversifying into other specialist engineering areas
including hydraulics, stainless fittings, scuba dive hoses and adaptors.
The principal and Director of the Company is Geoffrey L. Foote who is
a qualified engineer, having completed his early training as a fitter
and turner with the company. He carries the responsibility of Operations
Manager. Under his stewardship, the company has continued to maintain
the technical competence and quality standards that are necessary in
today's business environment.
The Company implemented ISO 9002 accreditation in 1992. The
documentation and procedures required under this certification will
assure our customers of ongoing quality management. Our audits are

and presently employs 5 staff at various levels who have come through
its training programme. Their loyalty and applied skills speak well for
