About us
Since formation in 1970, nearly 50 years ago Wakefield-based Thurston Group has continually evolved its operation to the extent that it is now one of the longest-standing and highest performing Modular and Portable building manufacturers in the UK.
We have evolved our business from developing and manufacturing trailers through to mobile welfare, full site cabin complexes and ultimately a modular range that offers an alternative to traditional building.
We can provide a total service, from consultancy, design and manufacture through to gaining planning permission and ensuring building regulation approval.
Covering a wide range of products from Anti-Vandal steel cabins that would be typically seen on a construction site through to modular buildings that incorporate architectural features, so that they look and perform just like a traditional building meeting all the necessary regulations.
