Southern region of the UK
This week, we talk to our new Business Development Manager for Offsite. Responsible for the southern region of the UK, Bob Holloway brings over 30 years’ of experience in the industry.
We talk to him to find out more…
My main responsibility is to look for new business opportunities in the southern region. Whether that’s new clients or building relationships with existing clients. As I’m quite new to the team, I’ll be focusing on developing relationships and getting to know our existing customer database further.
The Projects area is my key focus so I’m looking to meet with architects, main contractors and cost consultants. The five main sectors of focus are education, residential, commercial, infrastructure and healthcare but I will be exploring other sectors too, such as construction and industrial.
There are so many benefits but if I had to choose just one, it would have to be that modular buildings can be designed and built in a factory environment. By building units in a controlled environment health and safety isn’t compromised, sustainability is improved and waste is minimised. As modular buildings are constructed offsite, there’s minimal disruption to clients and buildings can be built up to 50% quicker than traditional builds.
Secure more business and grow our brand within the education, healthcare and the residential sectors whilst ensuring targets are met.
There’s no doubt that offsite construction is growing, and we are seeing a significant demand for modular buildings across a range of sectors. At Thurston’s, we want to continue to meet market demand by offering a quick turnaround and high-quality modular solutions that will benefit a range of sectors.
