About SHAKE: Fast, No-Nonsense Vibration Testing in the UK

Built by engineers for engineers — no fluff, just accurate testing and instant quoting.

SHAKE is a UK-based vibration testing provider in Andover, Hampshire, built to make shaker testing faster, easier to book, and more accessible. Whether it’s sinusoidal, random, or resonance survey testing, SHAKE delivers accurate, cost-effective results with no delays.


We’re engineers first — not just another test house. We think like our customers: sharp on the technicals, straight-talking on costs, and focused on real outcomes, not paperwork for paperwork’s sake.


Our platform reflects this mindset: instant estimates, smart shaker matching, clear reports, no fluff. Just solid vibration testing, done properly.


SHAKE is built on years of hands-on experience across real-world test programmes — from consumer goods to aerospace. We’ve sat on both sides of the table. We know what it’s like to be let down by vague quotes, slow comms, or test houses that miss the brief.


That’s why we built SHAKE.

Matthew Cox | Director, Co-Founder

Bolting things to slip tables since I was in nappies.

A true vibrator, in every sense of the word.

Now I’m nearly 30 and a family man — so it’s back to nappies for me.


I started my career as an apprentice vibration test engineer at TUV SUD. Since then, I’ve consulted on vibration testing for the likes of EATON Aerospace, L3Harris, and SAAB — everything from field measurements and solving aircraft-on-ground situations to full CE compliance programmes.


Over the years, I’ve been through most of the test houses in the country, and I can tell you: SHAKE is different.


No, we don’t have shiny brochure shakers or slick sales decks.

But what we do have is a responsive, no-nonsense lab that’s built to give engineers clear answers — without the waiting around.


I designed and built SHAKE’s Equipment Compatibility Engine and instant quote estimator myself. I also run the front end and handle most of the day-to-day operations.

Rich Johnson | Director, Co-Founder

Director at Engineering Dynamics — home of SHAKE Testing. I’ve been designing rubber components (including anti-vibration mounts) and running vibration tests for over 10 years now — time flies! Vibration testing has always been a core part of what we do at Engineering Dynamics, and I’m genuinely excited to open up this service to a wider audience through SHAKE.
