A method of manufacturing a moulded article from first and second moulding compounds, wherein: the first moulding compound comprises a first polymer and a first fibre reinforcing material embedded within the first polymer, wherein the first fibre reinforcing material is a directional fibre reinforcing material that includes a plurality of reinforcing fibres that extend preferentially in at least one primary reinforcement direction within the first moulding compound, and the second moulding compound comprises a second polymer and a second fibre reinforcing material embedded within the second polymer, wherein the second fibre reinforcing material is a non-directional fibre reinforcing material that includes a plurality of reinforcing fibres that extend in multiple directions within the second moulding compound, the method comprising: attaching a first moulding component to a carrier tool, said first moulding component comprising said first moulding compound, placing the carrier tool and the attached first moulding component in a mould comprising first and second mould parts (4a, 4b) that are configurable in opened and closed configurations, wherein a mould cavity is defined between the first and second mould parts in the closed configuration, closing the mould and applying a first moulding process, so that the first moulding component adheres to the first mould part, opening the mould and removing the carrier tool while leaving the first moulding component adhered to the first mould part, either (i) placing a second moulding component in the mould, said second moulding component comprising said second moulding compound, then closing the mould, or (ii) closing the mould, then injecting a second moulding component into the mould, said second moulding component comprising said second moulding compound, applying a second moulding process to shape the first and second moulding components (10, 12) to the mould cavity, and bond the first moulding component to the second moulding component to form a moulded article, and opening the mould and removing the moulded article. the first moulding compound comprises a first polymer and a first fibre reinforcing material embedded within the first polymer, wherein the first fibre reinforcing material is a directional fibre reinforcing material that includes a plurality of reinforcing fibres that extend preferentially in at least one primary reinforcement direction within the first moulding compound, and the second moulding compound comprises a second polymer and a second fibre reinforcing material embedded within the second polymer, wherein the second fibre reinforcing material is a non-directional fibre reinforcing material that includes a plurality of reinforcing fibres that extend in multiple directions within the second moulding compound, the method comprising: attaching a first moulding component to a carrier tool, said first moulding component comprising said first moulding compound, placing the carrier tool and the attached first moulding component in a mould comprising first and second mould parts (4a, 4b) that are configurable in opened and closed configurations, wherein a mould cavity is defined between the first and second mould parts in the closed configuration, closing the mould and applying a first moulding process, so that the first moulding component adheres to the first mould part, opening the mould and removing the carrier tool while leaving the first moulding component adhered to the first mould part, either (i) placing a second moulding component in the mould, said second moulding component comprising said second moulding compound, then closing the mould, or (ii) closing the mould, then injecting a second moulding component into the mould, said second moulding component comprising said second moulding compound, applying a second moulding process to shape the first and second moulding components (10, 12) to the mould cavity, and bond the first moulding component to the second moulding component to form a moulded article, and opening the mould and removing the moulded article. attaching a first moulding component to a carrier tool, said first moulding component comprising said first moulding compound, placing the carrier tool and the attached first moulding component in a mould comprising first and second mould parts (4a,
