Portable Offices Wins National Building Award

Chester based Portable Offices has just received a prestigious award and enormous kudos taking the coveted first prize in the MMC (Modern Methods of Construction) award for its remarkable achievement on the SS Simon & Jude CE Primary School project in Bolton.

The award was for the best Temporary Building Project in Education/Healthcare/Events/Other.

The awards, run in conjunction with the MPBA (Modular Portable Buildings Association) aim to celebrate excellence and achievement in modern methods of construction.

Portable Offices provided a rapid response with an extensive education solution with a range of temporary education accommodation to enable SS Simon & Jude CE Primary School in Great Lever, Bolton to reopen to pupils just weeks after a fire devastated the facility in the winter.

Portable Offices’ Depot Manager, Sue Holland, said:

“The contract was a collaborative success for all of Portable Offices’ depots nationwide but Sandycroft played a pivotal role.” 

A total of 73 buildings were delivered to site which included 69 modular sections.

Managing Director, Adrian Witty, said: “We are accustomed to responding quickly to disaster recovery contracts and were able to pull out all of the stops to get a range of buildings to site in just five weeks.

“Our team poured their hearts and expertise into creating an innovative education village following a challenging setback, and we couldn't be prouder of this recognition. Winning the Best Temporary Building Project - Education/Healthcare/Events/Other category is a testament to our commitment to excellence and our dedication to making a positive impact in the community.”
