Our client is an energetic young company formed to commercialise a new modern method of construction and aspiring to use it to have a positive social impact. They are employing and training prisoners on day release to manufacture the kitsets in their Gloucester factory. Ex-offenders are also employed to assemble their homes on location.
They have developed a full BOPAS accredited range of Relocatable POD Family Homes as a solution for the Temporary Accommodation crisis, a permanent range of homes as well as a range of home extension kitsets.
They have a DNA of unlimited potential with a can-do attitude. They are results driven, not process driven.
