We’re honoured and delighted in equal measure to be featured in this new commemorative book which has been published by Aspire Defence Capital Works.
The book is a permanent record of the work carried out under the 2016-2020 Army Basing Programme across the Salisbury Plain Training Area and Aldershot, and we’re pleased to be featured as one of ADCW’s key partners.
We’ve worked with Aspire Defence on the ABP project since 2016, during which time we’ve manufactured and installed 1,599 modules, comprising 52 individual Single Living Accommodation buildings. These now provide over 2,400 en suite single rooms for soldiers based at Tidworth, Larkhill, Perham Down, Bulford and Aldershot.
We’re extremely proud of the quality of work we’ve achieved in a relatively short time frame.
Well done to everyone in the team who’s been involved and thanks to all at Aspire Defence!

We’ve used the latest offsite techniques to provide a new café for students and staff at the Royal School of Artillery in Larkhill Garrison on Salisbury Plain.
The café is the latest building we’ve delivered at Larkhill Garrison on behalf of Aspire Defence Services.
Located in the centre of the Royal School of Artillery, the café will deliver a much-needed additional learning space while providing an opportunity for students and permanent staff to engage with their personal development in a relaxed and unique atmosphere.
“We were approached by Aspire Defence Services Ltd to assist them with the design and build of a new café which had to be linked to an existing building and used as an interactive learning hub,” said Wayne Cheshire, Contract Manager for Special Works.
“This has been a challenging venture but thanks to everyone’s hard work and commitment a high-quality project has been successfully delivered that the client will be proud to use.”
Our MD Steve Chivers added: “We have a close and very positive working relationship with Aspire Defence and we’re proud of all the buildings we have delivered for the Army across Salisbury Plain and Aldershot as part of the recent Army Basing Programme (ABP) and the original Project Allenby Connaught PFI contract with the MoD.
“We undertake a lot of work for the armed forces because our modular single living accommodation (SLA) buildings are constructed to exacting standards that satisfy the Army and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation’s (DIO’s) requirements.”
In 2018 we won the Best Offsite Project of the Year award at the Constructing Excellence South West Built Environment Awards for the modular single living accommodation we built for British Army personnel at Larkhill under the Army Basing Programme.
