EYG Commercial targets growth in modular buildings market

EYG Commercial is making a move into the modular buildings market in a bid to become established suppliers to the rapidly-growing industry.

With the modular buildings market expanding rapidly – and East Yorkshire being home to many successful businesses in the sector, EYG is looking to establish relationships with firms looking for high-quality products which can be manufactured to meet demand.

Commercial director Steve Swallow is confident EYG can make a positive impact on this growing commercial operation, supplying and manufacturing high volumes of windows to bespoke specifications for modular companies.

He said: “Modular work has been something we have done as part and parcel of our overall work in the past few years, as we have supported a number of projects using modular buildings in education and hotel developments in particular.

“Given the growth in this area it is something we have identified as an opportunity for our business and an area we need to tap into.

“We know we have the products and capability to provide a guaranteed supply and install for customers, with the highest quality of service and reliability.”

EYG Commercial, which has its headquarters in Hull alongside the successful domestic home improvements division, enjoyed its most successful trading year in 2016 with its order book up more than 30 per cent on the previous calendar year.

Recent work has included glazing contracts on the Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express Hotel at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4, and a 620-bedroom Premier Inn development at the same site.
