Premier Modular shortlisted for two categories in the 2017 Construction News Awards
The two categories Premier Modular have been shortlisted for are:
- Specialist Contractor of the Year (turnover under £100m); and
- Project of the Year (value under £10m) for their work at New Islington Free School
A new school was required as part of the regeneration of the New Islington area in Manchester. Premier, as preferred supply chain partners, worked closely with main contractors Conlon Construction and with their architectural partners Vaughan Architector to design, manufacture and install the visually stunning new school building, incorporating a feature entrance, over-sailing roof, picture windows, a double height light well and a modern external cladding finish. Have a look at our case study to find out more about the project.
