MP Mike Martin visited RVL in early July 2025

This month, RVL was proud to welcome Mike Martin to our UK headquarters, in Kent. Mike is the local Member of Parliament for Tunbridge Wells. It was a great opportunity to celebrate the strength and innovation of UK electronics design and manufacturing.

The visit offered a valuable opportunity to showcase RVL’s work in the electronics sector. It was also a chance to explore the latest industry developments and emphasise our commitment to technology, skills, and regional economic growth. As a business firmly rooted in the UK, we were pleased to share how our investment in people and innovation continues to drive success for our clients and the economy.

During the visit, Mr. Martin met with members of the RVL leadership team and engaged with staff from all departments. He enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of our facilities, where he saw first-hand how we develop and manufacture complex electronic systems for a variety of industries. Our electronics design engineers specialise in hardware and embedded software design. Our secure electronics assembly unit has a dedicated team of IPC-trained technicians. Mr Martin was shown how prototypes are designed, tested, and assembled in an ESD-controlled environment.

Seeing what RVL is good at:

From remotely controlled hydroponic plant growing systems to advanced oil-in-water monitors, RVL designs and manufactures all products right here in the UK. Our expertise spans multiple sectors, including marine, medical equipment, indoor agriculture, industrial safety, telecoms, lighting control, environmental monitoring, and security.

“We were delighted to host Mike Martin and share RVL’s journey,” said Mark Leman, Technical Director at RVL. “It’s encouraging to see strong interest from our local MP in the work we’re doing to support both our clients and the wider economy.”

Mr. Martin praised RVL’s dedication to innovation, sustainability, and workforce development. As we continue to grow, RVL remains focused on expanding its presence in the UK electronics design and manufacturing industry. We do this through ongoing recruitment, advanced training, and cutting-edge technology.

We sincerely thank Mike Martin for his visit and for the thoughtful conversations that made the day both meaningful and inspiring.
