Portakabin is proud to be sponsoring the Sustainability award this year. Since 1961 Portakabin has been at the forefront of construction innovation, pioneering modular construction as a smarter way to build.

As a market-leading pioneer of modular construction across the UK and continental Europe, Portakabin employs more than 2,200 people in seven European countries, delivering interim and permanent bespoke buildings of any size to create offices, schools, laboratories, universities and hospitals.

Portakabin CEO Dan Ibbetson said: “Over the years, we’ve changed, we’ve adapted, and we’ve grown, but always with the aim of making a better future. Now as the world faces enormous climate challenges, we are ready to play our part in producing the sustainable circular economy that the planet needs.

“We have a proud legacy of innovating in modular building and we are dedicated to using this creative approach to respond to our changing climate.

“At the heart of this lies a fundamental belief in being a responsible business and in doing business the right way, contributing positively to society, acting ethically, with integrity and transparency while minimising our impact on the climate and the world’s natural resources.

“I worry about the impact of climate change and I believe we have a collective responsibility as individuals, as companies and as governments to take action to ensure that we have a planet that can nurture and support future generations.

“I’d like to congratulate all companies short-listed in this category.”
