About the Darcy Group

The Professionals’ Choice for Spill Prevention and Spillcare Solutions

We are a leading environmental protection and spill care product manufacturer, helping businesses stay safe with our extensive range of pollution prevention products and expert spill response training courses. Founded in the UK in 1935, we stock and supply distributors around the world, helping businesses globally stay compliant.

By creating products with both legislation and the user in mind, we supply an extensive range of spill solutions that not only protect your local environment but are sustainably manufactured out of recycled materials where possible. Similarly, all of our products have been developed with current legislation in mind. We’re constantly discovering new and innovative ways to help protect our customers and ensure they’re compliant.

Accreditations

We are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of both our service and products. We have held ISO 9001 since 1992 and are prime movers in efforts to standardise performance claims in our industry, to ensure that you, the customer, can make fair and meaningful comparison of the products available on the market.

An Employee-Owned Group

In 2025, ownership of the Darcy Group was transferred from the shareholders into an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). Becoming an EOT means that our company is now 100% owned by our employees. This decision reflects our commitment to rewarding the people who have helped build our success over the last nine decades and ensuring long-term stability for our business.

Why Employee Ownership?

  • Empowering our team – every employee now has a stake in the company’s future.
  • Securing our legacy – employee ownership ensures continuity, preserving our company’s values and culture.
  • Driving growth and innovation – with a shared purpose, we’re set to achieve even greater success together.
