Thurston
Group Ltd
Prefabricated buildings mobile offices portable modular buildings steel modular construction.
Thurston Group Limited was founded under the original
name of BTH Tools (Leeds) Limited. Sales were first obtained through manufacturing
and supplying trailers and spares. Over the next few years there followed a period
of steady growth and in 1978 additional manufacturing space was acquired to accommodate
expansion into rolling chassis for export.
History
1981 -
the Company had entered into the design, manufacture and marketing of pre-fabricated,
anti-vandal and portable steel buildings, specifically for the Construction Industry
for use as secure site offices and stores. The physical size of these units and
rapid growth in this market necessitated relocation to larger premises in 1987.
The Company's name was also changed to BTH Industries Limited reflecting the change
in market for its products.
1986 - the Company achieved The Buying Agency
(TBA) Approved Supplier status with the Department of the Environment's Executive
Buying Agency. Successful registration is now maintained with "OGC Buying Solutions".
1989 - the premises were doubled in size as both the customer base
and product range widened considerably. Manufacture includes single units to multi-bay
link modular complexes of almost unlimited floor area and up to three storeys
high. To keep up with the changing demands the Company has invested heavily in
computerised design and manufacturing technology and, in 1991, attained a ISO9002
Quality Assurance Certificate of Accreditation with Lloyds Register Quality Assurance.
1993 - the Company established three quite distinctive operating divisions
and changed its name to Thurston Group plc, Thurston Building Systems being the
manufacturing division for prefabricated, portable and modular based buildings.
1998 - there was a management buyout and a change of name to Thurston
Group Limited. Subsequent growth has seen the opening of an additional manufacturing
site and an increase in the workforce to 200 employees.
