About us

Our Company

Founded in 1970, Thurston Group is one of the UK’s longest-standing manufacturers of modular and portable buildings. Over more than 50 years, the business has continually evolved its manufacturing capability and delivery model to support a wide range of public and private sector projects.

Today, Thurston Group designs, manufactures and installs modular buildings, portable cabins and specialist structures across sectors including healthcare, education, infrastructure, commercial and specialist environments. Our offsite approach enables greater speed, consistency and certainty compared to traditional construction methods, while maintaining a strong focus on quality and compliance.

Sustainability

Offsite construction offers inherent sustainability benefits when compared with traditional building methods. Thurston Group is committed to reducing environmental impact through efficient design, responsible material use and waste reduction across manufacturing and installation.

Our modular and portable buildings are designed to support long-term performance, adaptability and efficient operation, contributing to more sustainable built environments.

A Fabric First Approach

We adopt a fabric-first approach throughout the design and build process, with a focus on improving building performance through airtightness, effective insulation and optimised solar gain.
