Navigating My Placement Year at Composite Integration

Lessons and Highlights from a Design Engineer

During my second year at university, I encountered Composite Integration at a career event. The chat about their cutting-edge equipment and innovative processes grabbed my attention, and I was hooked. Eager to dive deeper, I applied for a placement as a design engineer.

Composite Integration appoints new Senior Control Engineer

Composite Integration is pleased to announce Oliver Powlesland as its Senior Control Engineer. Oliver joined Composite integration in 2015, coming straight from university where he studied mechanical engineering.

During his time, Oliver has developed his existing knowledge of software programming and has become a specialist in industrial automation. As a senior member of the design team, Oliver provides support and mentors many colleagues from an electrical and technical point of view.

As well as internal support, Oliver has been driving technical projects on major large scale infusion equipment, covering multiple sectors including Aerospace and Wind.

 

Composite Integration Ltd entered its 20th year – Ambitious Growth Plans

Composite Integration Ltd entered its 20th year in 2022. Founded in 2002 by Stephen Leonard-Williams and Richard Bland, both having significant experience in RTM, liquid moulding methods and equipment development, it has grown continuously year on year.

To provide a comprehensive range of equipment and services to multiple sectors worldwide, Composite Integration Ltd assembled a talented technical team covering a variety of engineering subjects including composites, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and software development.

The long-term company vision included building a team to ensure it continued to thrive and grow well beyond the tenure of the founding members and to ensure successful collaborations with clients and partners continued far into the future. To achieve this, a management team has been carefully assembled in recent years with a wide variety of skills and experience and, in December 2021, the company restructured enabling the team to own the equity in the business.

A major contribution to the company’s long-term success has been its commitment to a core Composites capability and a deep understanding of the process requirements for manufacture of a wide range of composite components. The company is currently engaged in collaborative research programmes with a total value in excess of £10M, developing tooling techniques, process control & automation and state of the art composite parts. Recent recognition of this work includes selection as one of two finalists in the JEC Composites Innovation Awards – Aerospace Application category.

The new team is actively developing and updating the strategic plan to maintain controlled growth of Composite Integration, deliver a growing range of market leading products across multiple sectors and enable us to continue to provide a world class service to our expanding client base.
