We’d like to congratulate Peter Speight, our Division Director, and Matthew Petch, our Financial Controller after reaching milestones in their Thurston’s career. Peter has recently celebrated his 25th anniversary at Thurston Group.

Having previously trained in architecture and worked with several architect practices and construction companies, Peter’s area of expertise is within building design and construction in both traditional and modular formats.

Matthew Petch, our Financial Controller, has also received a promotion after 10 years’ of service. Matthew joined us as a Trainee Accountant after working his way up to Company Accountant in 2015. Thurston’s prides itself on being a successful business that regenerates profit to improve its efficiency and service. Carefully managing our finances, Matthew ensures that we secure solid arrangements with suppliers and sub-contractors. Ultimately positioning us with a commercial edge.

Off-site manufactured modular and relocatable cabins offer companies a flexible, efficient solution for boosting eco-credentials, as they can be readily adapted with sustainable features that enhance energy efficiency.


Thurston Group continues to prioritise sustainability, working towards our goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Our 2023 Carbon Footprint Report, developed in partnership with Carbon.Climate.Certified, provides a detailed analysis of our environmental impact across three facilities in Wakefield, Catfoss, and Hull.
