Enebaling agility and economic growth
The Government have recently published the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy, Invest 2035 and it certainly makes interesting reading. The strategy highlights that growth is the number one mission for the Government.
The strategy provides detail on several key sectors where speed, innovation, adaptability, and flexibility are key to growth. Temporary buildings offer agile solutions to support growth goals, enabling rapid and scalable space solutions that can be used by multiple sectors and for a wide range of applications. We have summarised the key points of the strategy, specifically looking at how can temporary buildings support the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy.
What are the key growth sectors
The top 30% of sectors ranked by productivity in 1997 accounted for roughly 60% of all productivity growth from 1997 to 2022. These sectors are Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Energy Industries, Creative Industries, Defence, Digital and Technologies, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Professional and Business Services. Temporary buildings offer a practical, adaptable solution across many of the key growth sectors identified in the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy.
Your growth startegy
The modern economy needs agility to respond to needs, to scale up (or down) quickly and to have the capacity to flex to changing markets. Temporary buildings can provide a critical business advantage due to their speed of installation and cost-efficiency. If you have plans to grow and expand, we can provide consultative support to discuss your options. With expert early engagement we can develop a plan to help you meet your growth targets with efficient and flexible temporary buildings.
Sectors and applications
One of the key growth areas of the Invest 2035 strategy is manufacturing. Temporary buildings are perfectly positioned to support this sector by providing high-quality, flexible manufacturing workshops and the storage infrastructure needed to support manufacturing operations.
Another major focus of the Invest 2035 strategy is enhancing supply chain resilience, especially in advanced manufacturing, where disruptions can have significant knock-on effects across industries. Temporary buildings can play a crucial role in this by providing rapid storage solutions and additional production capacity to handle supply chain bottlenecks or unexpected demand spikes.
Case study: Advanced Manufacturing In Action
We worked with an electronics manufacturer who were experiencing considerable growth. They required additional, high-quality manufacturing and fabrication space. However, a traditional construction process would have taken the company around 8 months. This takes into account planning permission, architectural design, contractor procurement and the build programme itself.
Compare that to a temporary building solution which was designed in a matter of days and installed in under a week. Our temporary building solution allowed the manufacturer to expand its production capacity within weeks, meeting customer demand and avoiding costly delays and enabling economic growth. It is a shining example of how temporary buildings support the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy.
A site-wide growth solution
Temporary buildings are designed around your needs. They are highly durable, long-lasting structures that can be in place for 20+ years. They are pre-fabricated and re-locatable to give unrivalled flexibility for growing businesses. With rapid installation, minimal down time they are an ideal solution for many sectors.
Finally, due to their flexibility, they can provide a complete, site wide solution to enable business growth. Explore our recently completed projects to see just how flexible and adaptable these buildings are.
