Premier Modular<\/a> has appointed Mark Rooney as divisional director for its hire operations<\/h2>\n

Mark Rooney joins the business with 15 years\u2019 experience in leadership roles, 10 years of which have been spent in the construction hire space.<\/p>\n

Rooney now takes responsibility for Premier\u2019s hire division, from business development and project delivery to managing and developing the company\u2019s expanding fleet of modular buildings<\/a> for hire.<\/p>\n

David Harris previously held the position of divisional director for hire until he was appointed managing director of Premier Modular in 2020, following the retirement of Eugenio de Sa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meeting the demand for temporary building solutions<\/h3>\n

According to David Harris, managing director of Premier Modular, said: \u201cThe Covid-19 pandemic has really put the modular industry in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has given us the opportunity to demonstrate the responsiveness of modular construction<\/a> and in particular of our hire solutions. We have worked on some really high-profile projects in the past year, to incredibly challenging programmes to help the Government in its response to the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo help meet the increasing demand for our temporary building solutions in every sector, we invested \u00a312m in our hire fleet in just 12 months and have an extremely high degree of fleet utilisation. As the economy is starting to return to normal levels, we are pleased to report a very strong order pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Rooney, divisional director \u2013 Hire, added: \u201cThis is a really exciting time to join the business, which has made tremendous progress in the past year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is enormous growth potential for Premier\u2019s hire solutions, particularly in healthcare and education, where we are well placed to provide larger, more complex temporary buildings which may be on hire for a number of years.<\/p>\n

\u2018These projects range from decant education facilities for use during school redevelopment works to acute healthcare buildings to help NHS trusts rapidly increase capacity \u2013 from specialist ward buildings to theatre blocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also have ambitious plans to increase our market share in the provision of high quality project offices for major construction and infrastructure projects, not just in the South East but across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
