3 min read | Matt Goff | October 2019

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.

With new fire regulations coming into effect in January 2025, our head of technical, Marc Johnson discusses how Thurston is putting in the groundwork to ensure our products are, not only, exceeding fire regulations but providing clear evidence of performance.


For most people, when you hear the term “modular buildings”, you probably envision identical boxes on a construction site.
