About Premier Calibration

A family business
built on precision.

Premier Calibration was founded in Doncaster in 1997 by Paul Niles and remains a family-owned business today.

What began as a specialist calibration company has developed over more than 25 years into a wider calibration and engineering business, supporting customers across the UK in industries ranging from rail and aerospace to manufacturing, utilities and motorsport.

Although PremCal has grown, the business has retained the practical, personal approach of a family-run company. The team combines established calibration experience with modern equipment, engineering capability and mobile laboratory services, allowing customers to receive support both at PremCal’s Doncaster facility and on site.

The company continues to invest in its people and technical capability, including the development of apprentices and engineers, while maintaining the straightforward approach the business was built around: Precise · Concise.
