Modular Staff Changes

We are thrilled to announce a significant development in our company’s journey towards growth and efficiency: Avril McWilliams has been promoted to General Manager of our Modular Division. Avril’s appointment marks a pivotal moment for us as we continue to strive for excellence and innovation in the Modular Buildings sector.

Avril brings a wealth of experience and expertise to her new role. Her extensive background in the Modular Buildings industry, combined with her track record of achieving strategic objectives, positions her as the ideal leader to steer our Modular Division towards new heights. Avril’s proven leadership skills and innovative approach will be instrumental in driving our business forward.

Reflecting on her promotion, Dan Wharton remarked:

“Avril’s appointment as General Manager of our Modular Division is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and vision for the future. Her leadership will undoubtedly propel us to new levels of success and innovation.”

One of Avril’s first initiatives will be to ensure that our operations are more focused and efficient. To this end, Phil Whelan will now fully concentrate on the Modular Division in his role as Operations Manager. Phil will be responsible for recruiting additional Modular Teams at our Falkirk and Grantham Depots. This expansion will enable us to meet the growing demand for our services and ensure that we have the resources necessary to deliver projects on time and within budget.

Additionally, we are establishing a dedicated Modular Hire desk. This specialised team will be tasked with providing our customers with the detailed attention and support they require, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. This initiative is part of our commitment to enhancing customer satisfaction and reinforcing our reputation as a reliable partner in the Modular Buildings sector.

Looking ahead, Avril is enthusiastic about the future:

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to continue to grow our Modular Division. The Modular business has grown year on year, and with our delivered projects and confirmed order book, this takes us to another level for 2024/2025. With the continued support of Containex, we aim to become your go-to partner for Sales and Rental of Modular Buildings.”

As we move forward, our focus will be on driving growth through strategic investments and continuous improvement. We are committed to leveraging the expertise of our team and the strength of our partnerships to expand our capabilities and better serve our customers.

The promotion of Avril McWilliams and the strategic initiatives we are implementing mark a new chapter in our company’s evolution. We are excited about the future and confident that our efforts will yield significant benefits for our customers and employees. Together, we will continue to build on our successes and drive the growth of our business to new heights.
