An East Yorkshire manufacturer of modular buildings is reporting a record year, increasing its turnover threefold over the past year.

Driffield-based Premier Modular says it has successfully supported nearly 5,700 UK students by providing 22,500m2 of temporary classroom space.

Some 20 schools, ranging from primary school up to university, will have the classrooms for up to three years.

The deliveries are part of the government’s School Rebuilding Programme and in response to rising student numbers.

Over the last academic year, Premier Modular provided over 120 standard classrooms and 70 specialist classrooms (a total of 1,300 modules), in addition to libraries and high specification SEND classrooms.

The company says each project was delivered in a matter of weeks, and the temporary classrooms ensured high quality environments that minimised disruption to student learning.

Modular classrooms also help school meet sustainability goals as they can be re-used and re-purposed after their initial use.

Premier Modular Rental Division Director Mark Rooney said: “Our record achievement for the number of hire buildings to the education sector reflects a commitment to supporting the upcoming generation with adaptable learning spaces when they’re needed most, whilst ensuring that schools are on track to reach sustainability targets by creating a circular economy.”
