Check out these Temporary Buildings

I thought these were worth posting; they're from our Moduflex range of temporary accommodation and have been wrapped with a chequered pattern. The buildings will provide accommodation for commentators and sponsors and will be positioned at the start/finish line at the Goodwood festival of speed event taking place this week end.

Bye Bye to Portable Cabins

After a recent acquisition, the time came for taking stock. On a visit to one of that company's portable cabin holding depots, James, who looks after our second hand cabin sales, was shown a selection of temporary buildings that were not of a high enough quality for inclusion in our hire fleet. They included Thurston Units, Portakabin Pacemaker, Ultra , Lydney, and Caledonian Safemaker buildings. James, with the company's reputation for high standards in mind, decided that the buildings were of such a standard that it would be better if they were scrapped rather than sold. He's a true Yorkshireman and it must have broken his heart!

Farewell to Welfare Unit

James Mellars has been busy again! A customer called him with a problem; his gang of cable layers spent no more than a week at any one job and supplying them with a welfare cabin was becoming quite expensive as the transport charges for a crane offload and collect were relatively high. The solution: James sold him a second hand mobile self contained welfare unit. The customer now tows it from site to site and calls Elliott support services when he requires it to be emptied. Inside, there is a flushing toilet, a drying area, a six person seating area, hand washing facility and a microwave. The unit is powered by a diesel generator. There's a few more available across the country so, anyone interested should call James on 07774131145.

For when Work Stops inside a Workshop in Worksop.

This week James sold a portable cabin to a chap who found our details via the www. He needed some space inside his factory in Worksop "for the lads to use a canteen". After visiting our Wakefield branch, where we have an extensive range of second hand portable accommodation for sale, he chose his unit and arranged delivery of the building for the following Monday. We also organised for the building to be "skated" into position which, in the words of our client, "nobody else seemed interested in doing".   And here's the one he chose.

Giant Steps are what She Takes.....

OK so it's only vaguely related to portable buildings but who cares!

Laura Poole, who organises repairs and renewals to our fleet of energy saving temporary buildings operated from our Cannock branch recently took part in the 26 mile moon walk through London.

She and her team, dressed in traditional West Midlands Saturday night costume, raised a total of £1445 in aid of breast cancer. Job well done Laura (second from right) and thanks for the picture! ;)
