6th Nov 2006 – Foremans opens southern office as part of continued expansion

Foremans Relocatable Building Systems, the UK’s largest pre-owned modular building specialist, has opened a southern office in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, as part of the company’s continued expansion.

The new offices will provide a base in the South of England for Foremans and for its ConstructionSpace site accommodation service for building companies.

Foremans offers the largest selection of refurbished Portakabin buildings available from stock for sale or hire in the UK, reducing programme times for high quality permanent or temporary accommodation by up to 50 per cent. Applications include classrooms, ward accommodation, offices and airport buildings.

Commenting on the expansion, Kevin Jones, Managing Director of Foremans, said, "We have ambitious plans to grow the business under both the Foremans and ConstructionSpace brands, and the team we have in place, together with the new Dunstable office, and our headquarters and production centre in East Yorkshire are key to that."

"Demand for recycled and refurbished modular buildings continues to grow as more organisations in both the public and private sectors than ever before become aware of this highly sustainable and cost-effective alternative to new build. Our approach generates less than 10 per cent of the carbon emissions compared to a newly manufactured building, and has all the advantages of modular building – speed, quality, less disruption and improved safety on site."

"The new office in Dunstable, which is ideally located close to the national motorway network, will allow us to increase the availability of buildings from stock to customers in the South of England and to meet the growing demand." 

Refurbished modular buildings supplied by Foremans comply with all current Building Regulations, including Part L 2006. Foremans was also the first pre-owned modular building specialist to offer the reassurance of a comprehensive warranty package – three year product and 10-year structural warranties are available on fully refurbished buildings using the Portakabin Duplex modular system.
