Teamwork makes the dream work at Dorset school

Teamwork makes the dream work at Dorset school

Offsite modular construction produces fast results – especially when two companies in the same group work together! 

Dorset Council, an existing client of ours, came to us to help solve an urgent problem by providing additional teaching spaces at extremely short notice at Beaucroft Foundation School in Wimborne.  

Qdos Event Hire is one of our sister companies, part of the Newship Group, and we knew that they had a modular building solution that was perfect for the job – so the kit was sourced and the team dispatched.  

The school now has three new individual 20’ x 32’ open plan spaces, each made up of a four-bay CTX unit. The entire project from order to handover was completed within seven days, including the co-ordination of a team of electricians, who tested and installed emergency and external lighting once onsite, and cleaners. 

The head teacher and all the staff are really pleased with the temporary buildings and very impressed by our quick turnaround. 

The project was a great example of how companies within the Newship Group pull together with a sense of camaraderie to really deliver fast and effective solutions for our customers! 

Sam Evers, Senior Delivery Manager for Assets and Property at Dorset Council, said: “I went to the site yesterday and I just have to say a huge thank you! It is amazing how quickly you have turned this round for the school.  

“They look good and they were filling up with equipment very quickly. The kids will be very happy with them until their college is finished.” 

Rollalong Projects Co-ordinator Stuart Curtis said: “It has been a challenging task which I personally enjoyed because of the fact that everyone pulled together and did their bit to make it happen, so well done and thank you all!” 

Rollalong MD Steve Chivers added: “This was a monumental effort to address the school’s urgent requirement to provide additional teaching spaces at such short notice. 

“It’s amazing what we can achieve when we all pull together as one team!”
