Mechanical engineering consultancy, Stoke on Trent and the Midlands

Mechanical engineering solutions, from problem definition to substantiated delivery

We help manufacturers and machine builders solve difficult machinery and equipment problems through mechanical design, calculations, specialist analysis, machinery safety and technical leadership.

Every project is led by an experienced principal mechanical engineer, with trusted specialists added when required.

The problem we solve

When the engineering problem does not fit neatly into one discipline

Clients often have a production problem, a proposed machine, a legacy modification or a compliance concern that needs more than CAD. We define the requirement, develop the mechanical solution, coordinate specialists and create the evidence needed for confident decisions.

  • A new machine or fixture needs defining

    You have a production problem or a proposed machine, but not yet a defined requirement, concept or design.

  • An existing machine needs modifying safely

    A change is needed, but the drawings, load paths or conformity position are incomplete or uncertain.

  • A design needs calculations or substantiation

    A concept exists, but it needs first-principles calculations or independent evidence before you can commit.

  • A project needs senior technical leadership

    Several disciplines are involved and the work needs one accountable engineer to hold it together.

How we work

A controlled route from engineering problem to practical solution

  1. Define

    Clarify the problem, requirements, interfaces and acceptance criteria before design begins.

  2. Develop

    Create and compare practical engineering options, and record the reasoning behind the chosen route.

  3. Substantiate

    Complete calculations, analysis, risk assessment and design evidence to support the decision.

  4. Deliver

    Support manufacture, installation, testing and a controlled technical handover.

Why work with the consultancy

Senior engineering judgement, with the evidence to back it

  • Principal engineer access

    You work directly with the engineer leading and accountable for the work, from the first conversation.

  • Over twenty years across safety-critical sectors

    Experience developed in nuclear, defence, aerospace, automotive and advanced manufacturing environments.

  • A trusted specialist network

    FEA, controls, electrical, functional safety, fabrication and testing capability, added when the work requires it.

  • Clear scopes and controlled documents

    Defined deliverables, honest boundaries and evidence you can put in front of a customer or reviewer.

Experience

Experience developed across nuclear, defence, aerospace, automotive, special purpose machinery, manufacturing tooling, and lifting and handling equipment. Regulated-sector work is presented at a high level, with confidential information withheld.
