Record year and new hires at modular builder

East Yorkshire-based offsite manufacturer, Premier Modular, reports it has installed a record number of modules across its rental and permanent divisions this year.

In the 2024 financial year the company delivered 16% more modules than in 2023. With an expanding orderbook, the company has also grown to meet increasing demand, welcoming 28 new recruits, bringing its headcount to 345.

Projects worked on during the year include installation of Whitley Wood Training Centre for the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service and installation of a new integrated health and social care facility on the Isles of Scilly.

David Harris, CEO, said: “We’ve had another ground-breaking year at Premier Modular. From seeing further growth across the rental sector, to hitting key milestones in our journey to net zero by 2035, it’s certainly been one for the books.

“There is real demand for modular solutions to support the growth of many of the UK’s key sectors and infrastructure projects.

“Looking ahead to 2025, we remain committed to investing in our people. The team will be continuing to focus on mental health, as we support men in construction, a greater leadership focus through training for all our staff, as well as ongoing expansion into key sectors.”

MP for Bridlington and the Wolds Charlie Dewhirst, who visited the business’s head office alongside local councillors, said: “It was fantastic to visit Premier Modular and witness their ongoing success in modular construction.

“I was particularly impressed by their commitment to providing essential training and apprenticeships for young people in East Yorkshire and it’s great to see a local company thriving and continuing to grow.”
