Welcome to the latest Frewer Engineering newsletter.

This month’s edition features our reaccreditation with BSI, International Woman in Engineering Day, our engineering event attendance, and our finite element analysis capabilities.

We hope you enjoy the read!

BSI ISO 9001 Reaccreditation

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve successfully achieved reaccreditation with BSI ISO 9001, the internationally recognised standard for quality management systems.
 
This certification reaffirms our ongoing commitment to maintaining structured, efficient processes and delivering high-quality engineering design and analysis services.
 
ISO 9001 certification is a core requirement for many of our clients and serves as a clear indicator of our commitment to consistent, high-standard delivery. It demonstrates that our systems are externally audited and meet rigorous international benchmarks.
 
This reaccreditation confirms that our quality management processes remain robust, scalable, and aligned with industry best practices, ensuring we continue to meet client expectations and project requirements with precision and reliability.

INWED at Frewer Engineering: Insight from our Team

“INWED gives us a moment to step back and reflect on the culture we’re building in engineering. My time in a professional environment has shown me firsthand how representation isn’t just about visibility; it’s about impact.
 
When there are different lived experiences in the room, the questions become sharper, the blind spots smaller, and the conversations richer. We need a culture that values people not for how well they fit in, but for the multi-faceted perspectives they bring, which enriches teams and elevates the work we do.
 
During my time in industry, I often found myself the only woman in the room, a dynamic I’d faced before, but one that carried new significance in a professional setting. It wasn’t unwelcoming, but it did come with the realisation that my perspective was different. Over time, I came to see that difference as a strength: it led me to ask fresh questions and to claim space; not by speaking louder, but by trusting that my voice mattered and using it with confidence.
 
This year has been transformative. I’ve not only delivered meaningful engineering work, but I’ve also learned how to show up fully: as an engineer, as a teammate, and as myself. As we celebrate INWED, my hope is that every woman entering this field finds the mentors, allies, and communities she needs to flourish.”

This Month’s Event Attendance: Insight into the Future

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the chance to attend Sea Works 2025, Emixa DU2025 and Smart Manufacturing & Engineering Week. Each event offered a different lens on the future of engineering across, marine, digital and manufacturing sectors.
 
At Sea Work, there was a strong focus on innovation in vessel design, subsea systems and structural performance in harsh environments. It was encouraging to see continued momentum around advanced materials and more efficient energy solutions, especially in support of offshore and sustainable marine operations.
 
Emixa DU2025 provided a clear view on where digital engineering is heading. There was particular interest in how design tools like Siemens NX are evolving, not just in capability, but in how we interact with them. The idea of engineers working in immersive environments using VR headsets, manipulating assemblies in full scale seems increasingly within reach. It’s an exciting step for simulation-led design, especially in complex 3D workflows.
 
At Smart Manufacturing & Engineering Week the message was clear: adaptability and integration are key. The event highlighted how important it is for engineering teams to stay agile and connected across disciplines.
 
Attending these events was a valuable reminder of the pace of change in our industry. Each one sparked useful conversation and offered insight into how others are tackling familiar challenges; with technology, with collaboration and with a clear focus on the future.

Agile FEA: Frewer Engineering’s Bread & Butter

At Frewer Engineering we support our clients with advanced finite element analysis (FEA) as a core component of our engineering solutions.
 
FEA is central to how we assess structural performance, evaluate design feasibility, and manage technical risk across a wide range of applications. From linear static assessments and fatigue evaluations to non-linear, dynamic and thermal analysis, our capability is built around solving real-world engineering problems accurately and efficiently with clarity.
 
We place strong emphasis on collaboration, integrating closely with design teams to ensure that analysis supports not only technical understanding but also practical implementation. Our clients trust us to deliver reliable results, provide clear interpretation and contribute meaningfully to project success.
