With the sunshine, came a new uniform for the staff at Reekie Machining. Now not only are they identifiable by their boiler suits whilst working in the machine shop and in situ but also in their t-shirts, sweatshirts, fleeces and jackets, although you may need to wait a while to see the latter two.
Look out for the smart Reekie Machining staff busy on site in the UK and further a field, engineering solutions.
Reekie Machining are known for not standing still, we have continued to move forward by boosting our capacity within the machine shop. We recently purchased the following machines to increase our already broad range of capabilities within the heavy machining arena.
Reekie now have a good mix of both conventional and CNC machining capability including 5-Axis machining. We can cover the manufacture of both one-off and batch work ranging from 10mm dia up to 2400mm dia and machining centre working envelopes up to 3200 x 2000 x 1000.
“This investment ensures Reekie can offer clients a streamlined machining service for a range of jobs, from very large to small, while also being able to meet exacting specifications.” says Machine Shop Director, Jared Reekie.
Reekie Machining is a private family-owned business providing machining services from its plant in Inchinnan, Renfrewshire. Our key areas of operation are oil & gas, petrochemicals and process industries, power generation, shipbuilding and submarine refit, with customers ranging across small Scottish engineering businesses to international energy exploration companies.
The company provides ‘subcontract’ machining where the manufacture or repair takes place at Inchinnan, ‘in situ’ machining where teams of skilled Site Technicians go anywhere in the world for large tasks such as power stations and ships, and also machine tool design, manufacture, rental and sales.
On the 20th December Reekie Machining received a thorough Achilles audit which validates the capability, competence and compliance of us, as a supplier to utility companies such as EDF. The areas covered by the audit include quality, health and safety, environment, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), sustainability, business continuity and human resources.
Our results are outstanding, with both the Machine shop and Insitu Operation we scored 100% for the Environment, and over 90% for Health and Safety and Quality.
The results are a reflection of the continued work throughout Reekie Machining to ensure that we are striving to maintain and improve the service we offer to our customers. We are working to implement the changes recommended by the audit for the benefit of our customers, suppliers and work force.
Reekie Machining and EDF Energy are proud to announce that they have established a ‘Framework Agreement’, for the supply of In Situ Machining and other associated services, as of November 2017. This is the result of Reekie Machining providing a safe, efficient and cost effective service to EDF Energy over many years, throughout their nuclear power generating stations, a service which gives our client the confidence in the strong risk management of projects, reducing timeframes and providing the highest level of quality.
This recognition is a major milestone in the continual development of the professional relationship which has been established between our respective organisations. We will continue to provide services during planned outages and for one off projects, where close partnerships and collaborations has provided engineering and design solutions for major and challenging machining applications.
The duration of the ‘Framework Agreement’ is for at least 3 years, for the provision of our machining services both in the Machine Shop and on site with the In Situ Team.

Reekie Machining had a slow start to machining on Monday morning as the staff admired a very special visitor that had landed over the weekend. Vicky, a Mark II, 1939 Battle of Britain Spitfire replica, had developed a problem with her tail wheel bracket during filming for David Walliams, Grandpa’s Great Escape, Christmas Day special at former India Tyre Factory in Inchinnan. It required immediate attention to keep the filming on track and the first name to be thought of, that could help, was Reekie Machining.
The tail wheel bracket required repair and rather than the work being carried out on site, she was brought into the machine shop where with some turning and welding she was ready to return to set the next morning.
For a 78 year old war hero and film star, she had very few demands! She was flown by Iain Duncan Smiths father during the Battle of Britain and this is not her first time being filmed, having appeared earlier this year in the film “Dunkirk”.
Vicky is just one of the Spitfires that has been lovingly restored and looked after by The Lytham St. Annes Spitfire Display Team. For more information about them see www.spitfiredisplayteam.co.uk
