Blue Leaf Composites is an independent engineering consultancy specialising in the design and manufacturing process of advanced composite structures. Our work spans wind energy, marine, and industrial applications, with a focus on delivering practical, high-performance solutions that meet demanding technical and commercial requirements.
We operate with a small, agile team of talented engineers combining hands-on experience with digital tools to support design, prototyping, and production. Our approach is collaborative and detail-driven, whether we’re refining designs, adapting supplier processes, or supporting quality issues, or continuous improvement activities.
