Thurston Group expands team

Wakefield-based offsite manufacturer Thurston Group has strengthened its operations with six new appointments as it targets £60 million turnover in 2025.

The hires span business development, project management, commercial and marketing, enhancing Thurston’s end-to-end project delivery and supporting growth opportunities. 

Leon Hollywell and William Waterston join the business development team, bringing decades of modular construction and specialist sector expertise. 

JP Visage and Chris Baldwin bolster project management, while Rebecca Wingfield and James Osborne take on commercial and marketing roles, respectively.

James said: “I’m excited to be leading marketing for Thurston at such a pivotal stage of its growth. 

“The business has a strong reputation in modular construction, a brilliant team that consistently delivers, and the ambition to scale further. 

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to shape the group marketing function and play my part in driving that success.” 

Their appointments form part of Thurston Group’s wider ambition to scale its operations and reach £104 million turnover within five years, while continuing to deliver high-quality modular buildings, cabins and specialist structures across the UK.

Matt Goff, managing director of Thurston Group, added: “Thurston is investing in the right people to fuel the next stage of our growth. 

“These appointments strengthen our capability, from winning work to delivering it, giving us the team we need to meet rising demand. 

“Combined with our recent acquisition of the assets of temporary living and secure accommodation specialist, Alsim System Building, and our success in securing places on major national frameworks, we are in a strong position to accelerate towards our 2030 ambition.”
