An engineering company responsible for car modifications and high-performance chassis design has filed for administration. The London Gazette has confirmed that JRM Advance Engineering Limited appointed administrators back on February 12, 2026, with details published on February 18.
According to the London Gazette, the brand specialises in the “manufacture of other fabricated metal products”. At this stage, there has been no word on whether the news could affect staff, with any possible job cuts unknown. Located in Rutherford Way, Drayton Fields Industrial Estate, Daventry, JRM was first incorporated as a business back in 2014.
As well as focusing on manufacturing, such as welding and fabricating, finishing and quality inspection, JRM also has a keen interest in motoring. Their website explains they specialise in constructing demonstrator vehicles to mule builds or low-volume production runs.
The business has specialised in high-performance chassis design and novel suspension systems, putting together state-of-the-art powertrains, including working with hydrogen fuel cell technology. The JRM team has previously worked on putting together a brand new battery electric sportscar.
JRM organised a “credible engineering package and layout concept” for Caterham’s new Project V EV. JRM stressed they put together concepts for front and rear axles, featuring lightweight double wishbone suspension and adjustable toe and camber.
JRM also worked on “HV electrical and cooling architectures” whilst respecting the desired cabin space. The business has previously worked on “engine heat exchanger performance improvement”. JRM also features a “Driver Simulator” experience at its HQ in Daventry. and is a high-performance driver training facility.
This simulator focuses on motorsport experience, allowing keen racers to enhance their skills. JRM says the experience features a dedicated control room and a driver briefing room.
It’s the latest dent to the UK car industry which has suffered a series of blows so far in 2026. Zipcar was one of the biggest casualties, with the company ceasing operations in London this January.
