Our story
How the Okes got their name.
MNE stands for mechanical and electrical, the two disciplines at the core of everything we do. The oak stands for what we want our work to be: strong, dependable and built to last.
Then a client started calling us “you MNE Okes”. It was meant warmly, it described us well, and it stuck. That mix of serious engineering and down-to-earth working relationships is still how we operate today.
