WORKING WITH RUBBERATKINS At Rubberatkins we provide innovative and reliable highperformance sealing solutions.

We add value to our partners, by providing expertise that reduces the overall cost of ownership and support of our products, through superior performance or enhanced service life.

Professional registration is important to our organisation as it provides a structure for continuous professional development and a way to externally validate engineering competence.

We’ve really embraced this as part of our culture for developing engineers. IMechE’s accredited Monitored Professional Development Scheme (MPDS) has allowed us to tap into a high-quality candidate pool.

Working with the IMechE is one of the things that helps to define the culture we’re trying to create at Rubberatkins - continuous improvement in everything we do, ourselves, our products, and our processes.

It gives us an external perspective on how to develop our engineers, and ensure that we keep one eye on our own CPD. The validation of our MPDS, makes us a more attractive employer to the high-quality candidates that we aim to hire. rubberatkins.com
