Transport, warehousing,
freight forwarding and
contract packing specialist,
AKW Group, has invested in
a purpose-designed HQ
building from Foremans
Relocatable Building
Systems.

The two-storey office
scheme at Trafford Park is a
recycled and fully refurbished
modular building. Foremans
has also supplied a single
modular building for use as a
driver’s rest room and
canteen.

Facilities include open plan
and cellular offices, a board
room, reception, kitchenette
on each floor, toilets and a
booking-in area for drivers.

Tony Worthington, chair,
said, “This is a fresh, modern
building that could still be in
use for the next 50 years. It
was very cost effective,
configured to our specific
business needs and really is as
good as new.”
The building comprises 16
steel-framed modules that
arrived on site refurbished
and almost fully fitted out,
reducing disruption to AKW
Group’s operations. Only the
structure of the building was
recycled.

The modules were
refurbished and upgraded
with new windows, air
conditioning, wall linings,
partitions, M&E services,
doors, flooring, and cladding.
