Thurston acquires Alsim System Building assets to accelerate growth in modular industry

Matt Goff, managing director, says: “Alsim has long been respected for its design expertise and customer relationships within the construction sector. By acquiring its assets and IP, we’re not only strengthening our own technical capability but also reinforcing our position as a trusted, forward-thinking off-site manufacturer.  

“This acquisition enables us to support Alsim’s existing customers with confidence, while enriching our design library and expanding the breadth of solutions we offer. Strategic moves like this are fundamental to Thurston’s growth — we’re actively seeking further opportunities to diversify, scale our capacity, and enhance our expertise to better serve a growing client base and cement our leadership in the modular industry.” 

Thurston Group is set to deliver a full turnkey solution for additional classrooms at Foxford School & Community Arts College in Coventry.


At Thurston Group, we believe it’s important to champion women in construction. Our team has been discussing the challenges and rewards of working in the industry.
