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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our SMMT membership strengthens our ability to:
- Keep up with changes in the automotive landscape and the issues influencing vehicle programmes
- Connect with other engineering teams across OEMs, suppliers, and specialist consultancies
- Contribute to discussions around engineering standards, guidance, and best practice
- Build our presence in the market though involvement with a range of working groups in technical areas aligned with our capabilities
Alongside automotive, we’re also supporting a growing range of defence clients bringing the same engineering discipline to safety critical, high‑performance applications.
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.
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.
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’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.
