										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Randle Engineering has successfully achieved Cyber Essentials certification, demonstrating its commitment to maintaining robust cyber security controls and protecting the information entrusted to the business by customers, partners and employees.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1746" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Logo.png" alt="" width="155" height="185" /></p>
<p>The Government backed Cyber Essentials scheme is designed to help organisations defend against the most common cyber threats by establishing a strong foundation of technical controls, policies and secure working practices.</p>
<p>For Randle Engineering, the certification provides independent verification of the standards and processes that support the delivery of engineering consultancy services across sectors including automotive, defence, aerospace, off-highway and advanced mobility.</p>
<p>As organisations increasingly require confidence in the security of their supply chains, Cyber Essentials certification gives customers additional reassurance that Randle Engineering is committed to managing information securely and responsibly.</p>
<p>Sarah Hookey, Operations Manager at Randle Engineering, said:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Achieving this certification is an important milestone for the myself professionally and the business. We are always striving for operational excellence, and this certification reflects the professionalism, diligence and commitment demonstrated by my colleagues across our organisation. While online security is often associated with technology, it is ultimately about people, processes and making good decisions every day. This validation confirms the high standards we apply throughout our business and reinforces our commitment to protecting our customers&#8217; information and maintaining trust.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The certification was achieved following a detailed assessment of the company&#8217;s systems, controls and procedures, covering areas such as access management, device security, software maintenance, malware protection and secure configuration.</p>
<p>For customers operating in highly regulated and security-conscious sectors, including defence and aerospace, demonstrating strong cyber security credentials is becoming an increasingly important requirement when selecting supply chain and consultancy partners. Cyber Essentials certification helps ensure Randle Engineering is well positioned to meet those expectations while continuing to provide specialist engineering expertise.</p>
<p>The achievement forms part of the company&#8217;s wider commitment to continual improvement, operational excellence and delivering the highest standards of service to its customers.</p>
<p>Randle Engineering will continue to strengthen its cyber security posture and build on the foundations recognised through Cyber Essentials certification.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To celebrate a successful year, our team stepped away from the office in Warwick and headed to the beautiful Malvern Hills for a day of activities at the Morgan Experience Centre. Our day blended networking, automotive history, industrial conservation and a hands-on driving experience that brought out the analytical engineers in everyone.</p>
<h4>Setting</h4>
<p>The Morgan Experience Centre is a one-of-a-kind facility – bringing attendees into the heart of the Morgan campus, blending the polish of a modern visitor centre with the atmosphere of a working vehicle factory. Our base for the day was the ‘Showroom’ – a bright and inviting conference room, decorated with striking examples of Morgan’s current model range – the Super 3, Plus 4 and Supersport.</p>
<div id="attachment_1688" style="width: 493px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1688" class="wp-image-1688" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-striking-Super-3.png" alt="" width="483" height="362" /><p id="caption-attachment-1688" class="wp-caption-text">The striking Super 3 that welcomed us to ‘The Showroom’</p></div>
<p>We were steered through the day by our Morgan Brand Ambassador, a passionate and knowledgeable tour guide who coped well with hosting a group of engineers with a deep knowledge of vehicle technologies – a little different from regular visitors!</p>
<div id="attachment_1689" style="width: 493px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1689" class="wp-image-1689" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Super-Sport-and-Plus-4.png" alt="" width="483" height="362" /><p id="caption-attachment-1689" class="wp-caption-text">The Super Sport and Plus 4</p></div>
<h4>Driving</h4>
<p>Having whetted our appetite by poring over the dramatic examples on display in the showroom (including an immeasurably bold, pink Super 3), the foundation of the day was access to our own fleet of Morgans.</p>
<p>Everyone had the chance to take an extended drive in each model, with the obligatory ‘team building’ element of the day provided by splitting the driving and navigation duties during each 1 hour session between random pairs of drivers.</p>
<p>So, what did we all think of the cars on offer?  Understandably, gathering a group of engineers in this way led to excitement, critique, analysis and, of course, differing opinions.</p>
<p>The following reviews are my opinion alone and based on the order in which I drove the cars.</p>
<h4>Plus 4</h4>
<p>Starting the day in the Plus 4 seemed to be the perfect way to settle into the Morgan universe, if you ask yourself ‘What is a Morgan’ the Plus 4 must be the answer – a modern interpretation of a British ‘pre-war’ roadster.</p>
<div id="attachment_1686" style="width: 493px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1686" class="wp-image-1686" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-fleet-of-Plus-4s-ready-for-a-day-of-driving.png" alt="" width="483" height="364" /><p id="caption-attachment-1686" class="wp-caption-text">The fleet of Plus 4s ready for a day of driving</p></div>
<p>The classic vehicle has been updated and modified to embed new technology alongside traditional craftsmanship. An up-to-date powertrain from Morgan’s friends at BMW, with a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine and a smooth ZF 8 speed gearbox, provides the drive. The interior features a digital dashboard, airbag steering wheel and Bluetooth phone connection to bring the Plus 4 into the 21<sup>st</sup> century. The body is pure Morgan; with coach-built aluminium panels clinging to ash frames, hand-stamped louvres and wide, sweeping wings running the length of the car.</p>
<p>The Plus 4 provided a gentle introduction to the day’s driving.  The engine doesn’t bark with anger or burble in an antisocial way; it was comfortable driving through town and had enough power to dance along a county road at a reasonable pace.</p>
<div id="attachment_1687" style="width: 493px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1687" class="wp-image-1687" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-most-refined-of-our-three-driving-experiences-the-Morgan-Plus-4.png" alt="" width="483" height="272" srcset="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-most-refined-of-our-three-driving-experiences-the-Morgan-Plus-4.png 1379w, https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-most-refined-of-our-three-driving-experiences-the-Morgan-Plus-4-1266x712.png 1266w, https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-most-refined-of-our-three-driving-experiences-the-Morgan-Plus-4-920x518.png 920w, https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-most-refined-of-our-three-driving-experiences-the-Morgan-Plus-4-1120x631.png 1120w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px" /><p id="caption-attachment-1687" class="wp-caption-text">The most refined of our three driving experiences, the Morgan Plus 4</p></div>
<p>It was clear that the Plus 4 has been in production for the longest time of the three, it had a level of refinement that the others couldn’t match, and as a long-distance touring machine it seemed well suited.  It was equally as easy to get comfortable in the seat as on the road, with our first driving session passing by quickly as we gained confidence and experience of the roads around Great Malvern.</p>
<p>As a long-distance tourer, the Plus 4 makes a lot of sense; for a short, 1 hour loop of the Worcestershire and Herefordshire countryside, however it’s not the best solution.</p>
<h4>Super 3</h4>
<p>In my opinion, that mantle belongs to the Super 3 – the next car on my roster for the day.</p>
<p>On paper, the Super 3 is the slowest and least well-specified of the three cars on offer, yet it proved to be the most engaging and arguably the best value.</p>
<div id="attachment_1690" style="width: 493px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1690" class="wp-image-1690" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Unlike-anything-else-on-the-road-the-Morgan-Super-3.png" alt="" width="483" height="644" /><p id="caption-attachment-1690" class="wp-caption-text">Unlike anything else on the road, the Morgan Super 3</p></div>
<p>The 3-cylinder Ford Dragon engine is revvy and sounds fantastic, the open cabin and exposed front wheels make for a truly unique driving experience – more akin to a 1930s race car than the ‘pre-war roadster’ style of the Plus 4.  It’s so low that from the passenger compartment you can reach down and put your outstretched palm onto the tarmac.</p>
<p>It’s a car that always delivers ‘fun’, without the need for licence losing speeds or rapid progress to bring a grin to the driver’s face.</p>
<p>The driving experience is raw and unrefined, highlighted by the need for a helmet with a full visor while driving. The unassisted steering provides a direct link to the exposed front wheels, the experience of seeing the wheels turn in at every corner is equal parts unsettling and exhilarating.</p>
<p>The short throw Mazda gearbox and well-spaced pedals allow for easy heel-toe downshifts when hustling down a small country lane.</p>
<div id="attachment_1685" style="width: 494px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1685" class="wp-image-1685" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-dramatic-view-form-the-passenger-seat-of-the-Morgan-Super-3.png" alt="" width="484" height="364" /><p id="caption-attachment-1685" class="wp-caption-text">The dramatic view form the passenger seat of the Morgan Super 3</p></div>
<p>The small country lane seems like the ideal place for a Super-3, in a world in which performance cars are getting ever bigger with growing power outputs, the typical British unclassified or B-Road suddenly feels very small. Not so in the Super-3, which floats along this type of road in an untroubled way, with its performance never seeming to exceed the limits of the tarmac.</p>
<p>Despite having the widest track of the three cars (on the front axle at least!) it felt compact and agile, no doubt thanks to the driving position – hanging an elbow outside the narrow body gives an unmatched connection with the world outside the cabin.</p>
<p>However, it’s not without fault – the three-wheel configuration means avoiding potholes and road damage is impossible and when making progress the car takes near constant correction, involving the driver in all stages of each steering input with little returnability built into the geometries. This characteristic split the opinions of our team – some loving the engagement, others frustrated by the additional involvement always needed.</p>
<h4>Supersport</h4>
<p>Perhaps the most anticipated car of the three was the Supersport – the first of Morgan&#8217;s new-era vehicles, bringing the brand firmly into the 21st century.</p>
<div id="attachment_1682" style="width: 493px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1682" class="wp-image-1682" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Peter-Benzie-and-Javier-Maruenda-with-the-Morgan-Super-Sport.png" alt="" width="483" height="362" /><p id="caption-attachment-1682" class="wp-caption-text">Peter Benzie and Javier Maruenda with the Morgan Super Sport</p></div>
<p>Building on the heritage of the Plus 4 and its immediate predecessor, the Plus 6, the Supersport is more contemporary in its design – modernising the classic Morgan look while retaining the artisanal feel of its stablemates.  The chassis is an evolution of the bonded aluminium structure used in the Plus 4, with a lower weight and increased stiffness to improve driver engagement. The powertrain again comes from BMW, this time the ZF 8 speed is mated to an inline 6-cylinder turbo with 335bhp combining to propel the Supersport to 60mph in 3.8 seconds.</p>
<p>The level of performance the Supersport delivers is notably increased from the Plus 4 and Super 3, with the glorious engine delivering a delightful soundtrack high in the rev range, typically BMW but well matched to the character of the car.</p>
<p>The Supersport is most at home on fast A-Roads which allow you space to open the revs in flowing corners rather than trying to put the power down on tight, twisty lanes which require rapid direction changes and agility. The rigid hard-top changes the character significantly – increasing stiffness and trying to make this more of a sports car than an open-topped tourer, a notable difference from the other two cars and a point of significant debate among the Randle team.</p>
<p>Some found the stiff suspension unforgiving, criticising the ride comfort and resultant rattles from the trim; others found this to be an acceptable trade-off when paired with the high-power, rev-happy engine.</p>
<p>The Supersport seems to fit in a very different class to the other two – its price point positions it as a competitor to a Porsche 911; its character is unmistakably Morgan.</p>
<p>You buy a 911 for its effortless performance, refinement and ‘big car company’ level of completeness; you buy a Morgan because you value exclusivity and craft, Morgan owners are engaged with preserving history and want to feel emotion with every turn of the steering wheel.  Morgan hopes the Supersport will move from being their customers ‘third car’ to their ‘second car’ thanks to its usability improvements and a notable step up in quality.</p>
<p>Our car did not feature the dynamic handling pack or limited slip differential, it could be argued that perhaps the addition of these extras is needed to solidify the car’s dynamic credentials, extracting the very best from the new platform.</p>
<p>The Supersport was great fun and, even in Malvern, close to the Morgan factory, turns heads and gets more waves and pointed fingers than just about anything else on the road.</p>
<h4>Factory tour</h4>
<p>Our driving experience was intersected by an informative tour of the Morgan factory – a facility as unique in its character as the company’s product range.</p>
<p>Walking through the facilities, the contrast between old and new was stark.</p>
<p>Bonded aluminium chassis components, digital instrument clusters, modern BMW engines and 8-speed automatic transmissions sit alongside 70-year-old wood forming tools, English Wheels and hand-cut leather upholstery.</p>
<div id="attachment_1702" style="width: 492px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1702" class="wp-image-1702" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_9310-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="482" height="643" /><p id="caption-attachment-1702" class="wp-caption-text">A 70 year old, English Oak forming tool – still used to shape the ash frames for the Morgan Plus 4</p></div>
<p>As the company has grown, integration of traditional working practices with the modernisation of their product range has allowed the DNA of Morgan to flow through every vehicle that leaves the factory.</p>
<p>In an automotive world increasingly interested in preserving and modernising heritage vehicles under the banner of ‘Resto-Mod,’ Morgan has achieved the same result and emotion with not only their vehicles, but their manufacturing facility; a delightful blend of old with new, technology with craft, industrial with artisan.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s fair to say that everyone left feeling inspired and energised by the Morgan experience. The vehicles and the facility are a remarkable showcase of British engineering, craftsmanship and innovation. In an industry undergoing rapid change, it is encouraging to see a company successfully balancing heritage with modern technology while remaining true to its identity.</p>
<p>If Soichiro Honda&#8217;s famous prediction about the consolidation of the automotive industry proves accurate, Morgan will be alright… As he said &#8211; <em>‘In the future, there will be just half a dozen car companies – and Morgan.&#8221;</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Four Weeks at Randle Engineering: Applying Vehicle Dynamics in the Real World &#8211; Intern Blog</strong></h2>
<p>University of Bath Mechanical Engineering student Jonny Masters shares his placement experience at Randle Engineering, applying vehicle dynamics, suspension design and Formula Student engineering knowledge within a leading engineering consultancy.</p>
<h3><strong>Introduction</strong></h3>
<p>As a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Bath and member of Team Bath Racing Electric, I was eager to gain experience applying vehicle dynamics and mechanical design skills in industry. During a four-week placement at Randle Engineering, I had the opportunity to work on projects ranging from Formula Student vehicle optimisation to suspension system development.</p>
<p>My name is Jonny Masters, and I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath. Having completed three years of my course plus a placement year I am about to enter my final year, and I was keen to find opportunities to develop my skills in real industry settings. From my time as part of Team Bath Racing Electric (TBRe &#8211; the University’s Formula Student team) I had developed a particular interest in vehicle dynamics and mechanical design and as such I was specifically looking for a business that specialised in these core areas. As I researched potential companies one name came up repeatedly: ‘Randle Engineering’. Randle is an engineering consultancy firm founded around vehicle dynamics, but which has subsequently branched out into many areas across aerospace, defence and agriculture.  <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">The</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">Randle</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">Engineering</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">team</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">offered</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">me</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">a</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">four-week</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">placement,</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">split</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">either</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">side</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">of</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">my</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">team&#8217;s</span> <span class="___1cs5bdp f1w7gpdv f5p0z4x">trip</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">to</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">Formula</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">Student</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">Germany </span>(FSG).</p>
<h3><strong>First impressions of Randle </strong></h3>
<p>I wasn’t quite sure what to expect before my first day at the company. Having worked at a large automotive OEM on my placement I was intrigued to find out what a different scale of company had to offer. On arrival at Randle everyone was very welcoming and I quickly gained an insight into the working environment. What struck me most was the huge variety of work that was undertaken across the office. Randle operates with a methodology of engineering from first principles. <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">The</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">whole</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">team</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">has</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">a</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">deep</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">analytical</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">understanding</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">of</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">the</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">mechanics</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">and</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">physics</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">behind</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">complex</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">systems,</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">allowing</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">them</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">to</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">tackle</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">novel</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">engineering</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">challenges</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">effectively</span>. In combination with this being a open plan office means that there is always strong collaboration across the team. Everyone is very willing to pool knowledge, challenge initial concepts and share ideas. This means there is always stimulating engineering debate taking place, making it a fantastic way to generate ideas and share learning.</p>
<h3><strong>Formula Student project</strong></h3>
<p>For my first project in the two weeks leading up to Formula Student Germany I was given the opportunity to use Randle’s own vehicle dynamics software RS-Auto. The goal was to analyse TBRe’s car setup, make a list of potential tuning changes before the competition, and highlight key design considerations for developing next year’s car. This project was supervised by Ally McMahon who provided valuable insights on how the metrics output by RS-Auto would translate to the behaviour of the actual car. Ally answered all my questions on the topic, really helping me expand my knowledge in vehicle dynamics.</p>
<p>My analysis highlighted the car&#8217;s high ride frequency as the first key finding. Because Formula Student tyres have very low radial stiffness, the suspension rate was over 50% of the tyre rate. Hence, in the simulations, the car would bounce on the tyre more than the suspension. This meant the suspension wasn’t being used to its full effect — for example, resulting in less actuation of the damper to dissipate energy. Secondly, the higher ride frequency means the car’s body is displaced more vertically over uneven terrain, increasing tyre load variation, which is very detrimental to grip at the tyre contact patch.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1652" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Rear-unsprung-mass-impulse-Rear-unsprung-mass-displacement.png" alt="" width="399" height="247" /></p>
<p>However, decreasing the spring stiffness must be done judiciously with consideration to the aerodynamic load at high speed. I therefore utilised Randle’s spreadsheet for ride height characteristics based on different spring and aero combinations to set the rates of softer springs. Using their lap time simulation tool, I put this alongside other changes to the test, finding a theoretical saving of approximately 2 seconds over a 60-second track representative of the Formula Student Germany autocross circuit.</p>
<h3><strong>Suspension project </strong></h3>
<p>On returning from FSG I then moved onto a new engineering challenge. Working with Maurice Gloster, I started looking at designing a demonstrator model of a five-link suspension system which showcases Randle’s Advanced Compliance Control (ACC) technology. This was a good opportunity to build my modelling skills whilst also working with a new software package in SolidWorks. It was also a chance to combine vehicle dynamics with mechanical design as I learnt about 5 link setups which are not an area that I had encountered before. Working in CAD I was able to build a dynamic model which could be used to calculate hub and contact patch forces for various deflections (exhibiting the compliance control). <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">I</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">created</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">the</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">suspension</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">links</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">and</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">knuckle</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">components</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">before</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">checking</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">for</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">clashes</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">throughout</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">the</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">suspension&#8217;s</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">range</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">of</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">motion.</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">The</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">team</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">will</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">3D</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">print</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">the</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">model</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">for</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">display</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">at</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">future</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">engineering</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">exhibitions</span>.</p>

<h3><strong>Reflections</strong></h3>
<p>4 weeks at Randle feels like it has flown by! My biggest takeaway must be the variety of projects being worked on by the team. Working at Randle showed me that you don&#8217;t necessarily need to commit to a narrow, single sector. Instead, by mastering fundamental physics and engineering principles, you can continuously adapt to solve diverse problems whilst developing as a well-rounded engineer.</p>
<p>My advice to future students would be that it is extremely valuable to seek placement experience. You get a real feel for how the engineering design process works in industry while understanding what aspects of engineering you find the most interesting. <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">During</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">a</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">placement,</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">ask</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">plenty</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">of</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">questions</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">and</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">take</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">every</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">opportunity</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">to</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">learn</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">from</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">experienced</span> <span class="___xxxjie0 f1w7gpdv f1gqqdtu">engineers. </span>Everyone at Randle loved talking about engineering, and it was a great opportunity to hear interesting opinions and develop practical knowledge.</p>
<p>I would like to give specific thanks to Ally McMahon and Maurice Gloster for supporting me across my two main projects with the team as well as Sarah Hookey and Pete Benzie for giving me the opportunity and helping me maximise the experience!</p>
<p>Of course, thank you to everyone in the team for being so welcoming and supportive throughout, it has been a pleasure!</p>
<p>My placement confirmed the value of combining strong engineering fundamentals with collaboration and innovation, and I am grateful to have experienced this first hand at Randle.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Randle Engineering is a member of both the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) and Make UK Defence. Two organisations that help connect engineers and like-minded peers across the UK and shape the conversations that matter in our industries.</p>
<p>We’ve always believed that good engineering is a team effort. The best outcomes come from strong fundamentals, practical experience, and learning from each other.</p>
<p>Both networks give us a clear view the latest developments in our core markets, and a straightforward way to share insight with and stay connected to the people leading this development.</p>
<p>Randle Engineering was established in 1994 with deep roots in automotive engineering. We still bring a first‑principles approach to complex problems particularly in vehicle dynamics, suspension, structures, and mechanical systems and that experience continues to inform our work across multiple sectors today.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1557 aligncenter" src="https://www.randle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SMMT_Member.png" alt="" width="397" height="192" /></p>
<p>SMMT brings together manufacturers, engineering specialists, and technology companies from across the global automotive supply chain. For us, membership is a practical way to stay close to the topics our customers care about, from emerging technologies to standards and policy that affect day‑to‑day engineering decisions.</p>
<p>Our SMMT membership strengthens our ability to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep up with changes in the automotive landscape and the issues influencing vehicle programmes</li>
<li>Connect with other engineering teams across OEMs, suppliers, and specialist consultancies</li>
<li>Contribute to discussions around engineering standards, guidance, and best practice</li>
<li>Build our presence in the market though involvement with a range of working groups in technical areas aligned with our capabilities</li>
</ul>
<p>Alongside automotive, we’re also supporting a growing range of defence clients bringing the same engineering discipline to safety critical, high‑performance applications.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Make UK Defence is the UK’s defence trade association, providing a link between engineering SMEs, prime contractors, and government stakeholders, and championing a strong, resilient supply chain.</p>
<p>Being part of Make UK Defence supports the way we work; collaborating early, communicating clearly, and delivering robust engineering in regulated environments. It also reflects our focus on building long‑term relationships across the defence supply chain showcasing our experience working within demanding, regulated programmes and a commitment to building trusted partnerships over the long term.</p>
<p>Whether we’re supporting early concepts, detailed design and analysis, or troubleshooting complex issues, staying engaged with the wider industry helps us challenge assumptions and keep our work relevant. We&#8217;re proud to be part of both communities, and look forward to continuing to contribute, listen, share what we’ve learned, and collaborating where we can.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a graduate or early‑career mechanical engineer looking for more than siloed work, limited responsibility or box ticking design tasks, Randle Engineering offers something increasingly rare, time to think, freedom to engineer, and responsibility from day one.</p>
<p>We are a specialist UK mechanical engineering consultancy, based in Warwick, with a reputation built on first‑principles thinking, rigorous engineering, and long-term customer trust. Our size is intentional, our standards are uncompromising, and our people are central to everything we do.</p>
<p><strong>A consultancy where engineering still means engineering.</strong></p>
<p>Founded in 1990, Randle Engineering brings over three decades of innovation and delivery across multiple sectors, from passenger vehicles and commercial platforms to off‑highway machinery, aerospace, robotics, and medical applications.</p>
<p>Our engineers work on projects that span:</p>
<ul>
<li>Component and system development</li>
<li>Full vehicle and concept programmes</li>
<li>Powertrain and suspension integration</li>
<li>Engineering problem solving from first principles, not templates.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a consultancy where hand calculations, free‑body diagrams and fundamental understanding really matter and where junior engineers are encouraged to build these skills with real world experience and mentorship from engineers with decades of industry experience and recognised for their technical excellence. Our engineers break down the barriers between designers and analysts. We do it all and apply the right tool at the right time&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>What makes Randle different for early career engineers?</strong></p>
<p>You will own real engineering work in your early weeks, months and beyond. Projects at Randle range from short, focused investigations to multi month programmes, sometimes led by a single engineer, sometimes delivered by small team. From early on, you are trusted to own your tasks, make decisions, manage stakeholders, and present your work clearly.</p>
<p>You will learn to solve problems, how to apply and develop your ideas? Not just what to do. We expect high technical standards, but we support you in getting there with structured development pathways aligned to UK‑SPEC / IMechE competencies. Technical mentoring from experienced engineers and regular one‑to‑one support and feedback. Time and space to properly analyse problems in a small, supportive, high trust team.</p>
<p>We are a small consultancy by design, this creates a flat structure with no heirs and graces with high staff retention. A calm, quiet office environment with room for deep work with open opportunity for discussion, debate, and continuous improvement initiatives. We value opinions, discussion is encouraged, questioning is welcomed, and learning is continuous.</p>
<p><strong>Our Approach: “Randleness”</strong></p>
<p>Internally, we talk about <em>“Randleness”</em> our shorthand for customer added value through engineering excellence. It means, getting to the heart of a problem, removing unnecessary complexity. Applying rigour from first sketches and calculations through to delivery and presenting work clearly and confidently.</p>
<p>As our Founders favourite quote reminds us,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em>Antoine de Saint-Exupéry</em></p>
<p><strong>Location, flexibility, and benefits</strong></p>
<p>We work primarily from the office, with face‑to‑face collaboration at the heart of how we operate, alongside flexible home working (up to two days per week). Competitive salary and benefits including, private healthcare (inc optical &amp; dental), pension contributions, salary sacrifice car scheme, cycle‑to‑work scheme and DIS and IPP.</p>
<p><strong>Who thrives at Randle Engineering?</strong></p>
<p>You will enjoy Randle if you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Want to understand systems deeply, not just re-use what was done before.</li>
<li>Enjoy solving problems from first principles.</li>
<li>Are comfortable owning work and learning through responsibility?</li>
<li>Value quality, clarity, and technical integrity</li>
<li>Want exposure to diverse engineering challenges early in your career.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Ready to start building real engineering experience?</strong></p>
<p>We regularly welcome graduate and junior mechanical engineers who want to develop into technically confident, respected engineering professionals.</p>
