Thurston launches school storage competition

A Yorkshire-based offsite construction company has launched a nationwide competition for schools.

Wakefield’s Thurston Group is giving one school the chance to win a fully installed 20ft storage cabin, supporting the Government’s Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme.

Schools can enter by submitting a 100-word summary explaining how extra storage would benefit their community. 

Thurston will then shortlist finalists, who will then gather votes from parents, staff and local supporters, with the winning school receiving a secure, fire-resistant, low-maintenance cabin designed to last for years, providing space for sports and playground equipment.

Matt Goff, managing director of Thurston Group, said: “At a time when the Government has increased its investment in grassroots sport, we wanted to add our support by helping schools tackle one of their most overlooked challenges – storage. 

“Without it schools struggle to keep sports equipment safe, accessible, and ready for children to use. 

“We want to give back to the education providers we’ve worked alongside for the past five decades, by helping one school unlock the space it needs so more children can play, move, and thrive.”

With more than 50 years’ experience, Thurston Group has supplied modular facilities across the UK, from classroom blocks to standalone storage solutions.
