Modular building specialist, M-AR<\/a> has secured a second MMC factory to support its growing order book<\/h2>\n

Securing a new 100,000 sq ft MMC factory at Freightliner Road in Hull will accelerate M-AR\u2019s ability to deliver the much-needed homes across the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Combined with its existing MMC factory at Melton, M-AR\u2019s production capacity will triple and will enable them to manufacture and deliver over 750 homes per annum, ramping up to 1,000 within 2 years.<\/p>\n

M-AR has additional plans to outgrow these facilities further.<\/p>\n

The expansion plans follow a string of key framework and contract wins such as appointment onto \u2013\u00a0 LHC (MB1 & NH2), CCS (RM6014), CHIC (Central Housing Investment Consortium) 15 year \u00a3573m Housing programme and the \u00a3400m Procure Plus offsite housing framework.<\/p>\n

M-AR is expected to create over 100 new jobs and invest further in providing training and skills<\/a> for local people.<\/p>\n

A key focus of M-AR\u2019s recent growth has been through its turnkey modular housing offering, where it delivers mortgageable BOPAS accredited, low carbon homes constructed primarily of light gauge steel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Delivering much needed, energy efficient housing\u2019<\/h3>\n

Rob Grimbleby, managing director of M-AR, said: \u201cExpanding our manufacturing operation is a key strategic milestone for us and is testament to our great people and our partners, many of whom have worked alongside us for many years.<\/p>\n

\u201cModern Methods of Construction<\/a> provides a route to increase the supply of high-quality buildings around the country, and it\u2019s been great to see recent announcements from the government in support of the offsite sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be opening our second factory in the UK in delivering much needed, energy efficient housing that assists housing associations, registered providers, local authorities and our developer partners to respond to the current housing shortage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, the unique challenges of Covid-19 and the housing crisis will see an acceleration in new forms of delivery, and we are well placed to help customer\u2019s deliver turnkey projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnquiries remain strong across all our market sectors, and we are particularly excited about the housing sector, where we feel we have the right skills and approaches to provide best value to our new and existing customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
