Portakabin is supporting the AT EXHIBITION CENTRE
upturn in the UK
manufacturing sector, with a
range of interim building
solutions that allow
manufacturers to quickly meet
changing business needs.

Managing business growth
while meeting customer
needs can be a major
challenge. Modular buildings
can provide manufacturers
with a flexible approach to
accommodation, delivering
fully fitted work space for a
variety of uses from offices to
training and IT suites,
meeting rooms, canteens and
welfare facilities.

One company which has
benefited from a Portakabin
solution is Johnson Matthey
Catalysts, a global
manufacturer of catalysts. Its
facility at Clitheroe has used
the Portakabin Hire Centre
in Blackburn for nearly two
decades. Its latest project was
to provide a new electrical
workshop. Other buildings
hired from Portakabin have
included meeting suites,
office space and employee
welfare facilities.

David Greatorex, facilities
manager at Johnson Matthey,
said, “There is a finite
amount of space on this site.

Taking a modular approach
allows us to flex the usage of
the site and adapt staff
accommodation quickly. We
have built a strong, longstanding
relationship with
Portakabin. The team
understands our business
needs and delivers excellent
customer service, providing
us with high quality interim
buildings on time and on
budget.”
