Look what got left under our Christmas tree, on Thursday 9th December as the staff at Reekie Machining, donned their Christmas jumpers, along with Christmas t-shirts, Santa hats, head boppers, face masks and even underfrillies. We even had our very own Santa look alike, aka Peter our Machine Shop Supervisor.
Whilst being good fun and bringing a smile to everyone face and a mince pie at morning tea break too, it was done in aid of Renfrewshire Foodbank. The staff were very generous in bringing in goodies and making donations.
Picture, in their “dashing” Christmas attire are some of the staff from Project Engineers to millers and turners and the office staff. We are still waiting for the photographic evidence that out insitu squad were cosy on site in their Christmas jumpers too!
Bags of Goodies
In early 2021, Reekie Machining gained Cyber Essentials Certification. Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective, Government backed scheme that will help protect our organisation, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks. This helps us give peace of mind to all our customers and suppliers, whether they be subcontract, construction, engineering or even the offshore industries, that we do the utmost to protect their data as well as our own.
This is just another step for Reekie Machining striving to be experts in all fields.

You can view our certificates in the Downloads section of the website.
On Thursday 30th September 2021 we held a coffee morning to raise money for a great cause, MacMillan Cancer Support. Our Insitu machinists, Welders, Turners and Project Engineers all got their baking hats on (or stopped at the local supermarket) to delight us with the baking skills and tasty goodies.
A returning favourite of Mrs Richmond’s carrot cake was well received as always but our HR manager Charlotte’s Victoria sponge was a close challenger for that top spot. Notable mentions also have to be given to the cookies from Design department and Nutella Krispie cake from the Accounts Team. Calorific!
At the end of the day with a lot of full bellies and raised blood sugars, the count brought us in at over £200 raised for a great cause.
In late February 2021 we took delivery of 4 new vans to our fleet. Replacing 2 of our older workhorses who had travelled up and down the UK so many times in their 6 years services, whether it was going to a Nuclear Power Station, a Renewable Energy site or to an offshore job, they certainly had a good innings.
Damar Ltd in Barrhead provided us with the van liveries once again, as they did in 2014. We thank Therese and Margaret for their help and great service in making the new vans look fresh and ready to transport the Reekie in situ squad to wherever the customer requires them.
Keep your eyes peeled for our new fleet on the road.

Pictured above is the winner of the first prize, David Guthrie, a member of staff in our Machine Shop who is a specialist Miller and works two CNC machines.
