1985 – 2025
2025 marks 40 years since Procom Communication Services was founded.
It is a milestone we're proud to celebrate. It also feels like the right moment to look back at how it all started, how we have grown and what has helped us remain a trusted name in communications for four decades.
How it all began
Procom was founded in 1985 by Roy Pierce, following a long and successful career in the communications industry. Starting out as an apprentice, Roy worked his way up to become Managing Director of Burndept Electronics, a leading UK firm that, at its height, employed over 1,000 people nationwide. His rise was built on hard work, commitment and a genuine passion for the job.
With decades of experience behind him and a desire to build something of his own, Roy launched Procom with three trusted former colleagues. The business began in a converted stable at his home in Longfield, Kent. The setup was modest, but the ambition was clear and the team brought with them a wealth of expertise, drive and belief in what they were creating.
Built on service and strengthened by trust
From the start, Procom has focused on providing practical and reliable radio communication solutions, backed by responsive and honest customer service. That approach quickly earned the business a loyal customer base and led to opportunities to support larger infrastructure projects.
One of the most significant was the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, where Procom supplied the radio communications system during the construction phase. The system worked so well that we were asked to provide it again for the second phase. It was a proud moment for a growing independent company.
Still independent and still customer-focused
Today, Procom remains an independent business, with Roy still leading the company. We are still based in Kent and whilst the original stable building has long been replaced, the values we began with remain firmly in place.
We continue to support clients across a wide range of sectors. Whether the job is large or small, every customer receives the same high standard of care and professionalism. That consistency is what has kept us going for 40 years and what we believe will carry us forward into the future.
Looking ahead
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2025, we want to thank all our customers, suppliers and colleagues who have been part of the journey so far. Your trust and support has made all the difference.
Here's to the next 40 years.
