New Foremans boss targets southeast

21 Feb 12 Shepherd Group has promoted Mike Williams to managing director of its recycled and refurbished modular buildings division, Foremans Relocatable Building Systems.

And the new boss is targeting the southeast for growth.

Previously general manager for the hire division of sister company Portakabin, Mr Williams joined the Shepherd Group in 1977 and has more than 30 years’ experience in the modular building sector.

“Foremans is the UK’s largest supplier and purchaser of pre-owned modular buildings”, said Mr Williams.  “We have ambitious plans to grow the business.  Our recent expansion and investment, which has included our strategically-located southern operation in Hemel Hempstead, means we are well placed to continue to increase market share and move into new markets, particularly in London and the southeast.”

“We believe recycled modular buildings have a significant role to play in the current economic climate, offering innovative construction solutions for clients looking for best value.  This is also a very environmentally sound alternative to the demolition and disposal of modular buildings in landfill sites.  We can recycle the building structure which allows other organisations in both public and private sectors to benefit from the speed, quality and lack of disruption of off-site construction, whilst also reducing their carbon footprint.”
