Highlights from the Hull-based company’s permanent and rental portfolio include the Paper Yard building at Canada Water, London, which formed the second phase of British Land’s STEM Innovation Hub, the new permanent engineering block for Leeds City College’s Printworks Campus, and the start of UK’s first modular barn theatre for Maidstone Hospital’s orthopaedic ward.

Looking ahead, the company said the offsite manufacturing sector is expected to continue to grow in 2024, reaching a worth of around £17.5bn by 2027, with the modular market alone forecast to reach £7bn.
