⚙️ Good luck to our Engineering apprentices!

Today, a team of Engineering apprentices from Ricoh UK Products Ltd (RPL) are at the Manufacturing Technology Centre in Coventry for the Apprentice Automation Challenge Finals.

The challenge was to automate an everyday process at home or work – and our apprentices have risen to it by developing a Smart Home Curtain device.

Their innovative solution attaches to a curtain pole and uses a clap sensor to automatically open the curtains with a simple clap of the hands.

From developing the initial idea to designing and building a working solution, the project has been a fantastic opportunity for the team to put their engineering skills, creativity and teamwork into practice.

Today, they’ll showcase their project at the Finals and present their solution to the judging panel.

We’re incredibly proud of what the team has achieved to reach this stage.

👏 Good luck to everyone involved – go smash it!

🦌 Wildlife Wednesday is back!

And it didn’t take long for a familiar face to make an appearance… our resident deer has been caught on camera again! 📸

For the past few years, we’ve been placing wildlife cameras in different locations across the Ricoh UK Products Ltd (RPL) site. They give us a glimpse into what happens when we're not around, helping us monitor the wildlife visiting and living on our grounds and better understand which areas of the site they’re using.

From deer and foxes to some of our smaller visitors, the cameras continue to reveal the variety of wildlife sharing our 50+ acre site here in Telford.

We’ll be sharing more of our latest sightings over the coming weeks as Wildlife Wednesday continues. 👀

What do you think our cameras will spot next?

🦋 “Our 238 sightings may only represent a small part of the 1.6 million+ butterflies recorded nationally, but they still contribute to something much bigger.”

That’s the message from Carl Griffin, Continuous Improvement Engineer and Biodiversity team member, after employees from Ricoh UK Products Ltd (RPL) and Ricoh Printing Solutions Europe Ltd (RPSE) took part in the Big Butterfly Count 2026.

Across four survey sessions at RPL’s Telford site, 23 employees recorded 238 butterflies and moths, helping to build a clearer picture of local biodiversity and contributing to national conservation research, to support Butterfly Conservation.

“Thank you to everyone from RPL and RPSE who took part in this year’s Big Butterfly Count, and to the Biodiversity team for helping to organise the sessions. Each person’s voluntary contribution has helped us capture another useful snapshot of the wildlife present across our site.”

Through activities like this, RPL continues to protect and enhance biodiversity across its 50+ acre site, supporting wider ‘ESG Leadership’ commitments.

Achieving net zero isn't just about installing new technology – it's about turning data into action.

At Ricoh UK Products Ltd (RPL), our new energy management platform in partnership with SolarEdge Technologies Inc. is providing real-time visibility of energy use across our Telford manufacturing site, helping identify inefficiencies, respond more quickly to equipment issues, and make informed decisions that reduce both energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Already, the platform has helped uncover opportunities including:
✅ £4,000 saved by eliminating unnecessary weekend heating
✅ £10,000 annual savings through optimising chiller equipment
✅ Improved monitoring across electricity, gas, water, solar PV and EV charging infrastructure from a single platform

It's another step forward in supporting RPL's net-zero 2030 ambition through smarter, data-driven energy management.

🎉 From workplace innovation to double award success!

We're incredibly proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Marc Green, Engineer (Toner Engineering), who has completed his BEng Mechanical Engineering degree with First-Class Honours and received two prestigious awards from the University of Wolverhampton.

From a cohort of 57 students, Marc was awarded the FBC Manby Bowdler Prize for achieving the highest Grade Point Average (GPA) in Mechanical Engineering, attaining an impressive 86% average, alongside the Lenovo Prize for achieving the highest mark in his final year project.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Marc completed his studies whilst balancing a full-time role at Ricoh UK Products Ltd (RPL). His award-winning dissertation focused on improving an ID Tag station used within our toner cartridge filling operation, delivering practical enhancements that increased Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and provided real benefits to our manufacturing processes.

Congratulations, Marc!
