We're proud to see Thurston recognised for its people, capability and specialist delivery.

Recent industry awards reflect the strength of our teams and the complex, specialist projects they deliver every day across the UK.

From specialist structures to bespoke modular solutions, Thurston brings decades of engineering expertise and a problem-solving mindset to projects where detail and delivery matter.

At Thurston, we’re always looking for ways to evolve — refining our production lines, improving efficiency, and finding smarter ways to deliver quality products for our customers.

More recently, our Fabrication team at Wakefield has re-engineered the shop floor to support new product lines, creating a more flexible, efficient, and scalable production environment.

It’s another step forward in our commitment to continuous improvement — and to building better, every day.

Building skills. Shaping futures. 🔥

At Thurston, we’re passionate about developing the next generation of talent in modular manufacturing.

Maisie, one of our welding apprentices in Wakefield, is learning her craft alongside some of the best in the business — gaining hands-on experience and mentorship every step of the way.

“My apprenticeship means I can learn the fundamentals of welding whilst getting real, practical experience,” says Maisie. “It’s work that takes time to master, and I’m finding it really valuable to work alongside people who’ve been doing it for years.”

We’re proud to be creating opportunities for young people to build lifelong careers — and we’re always looking for experienced welders who want to pass their skills on to the next generation.

It’s okay to talk. 💬

Following last month’s support for World Mental Health Day, our Wakefield team last week welcomed Andys Man Club for an open session on men’s mental health.

The session created a safe, supportive space for honest conversation — encouraging colleagues to talk, listen, and look out for one another.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the afternoon such a success. Sessions at our other sites will follow soon, continuing our commitment to making Thurston a place where it’s always okay to talk.

On today's , we're taking a moment to reflect and pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served for our country.

At Thurston, we're proud to have ex-military staff members across our ranks, inspiring our team every day.

Earlier this year, we signed the Armed Forces Covenant, a pledge which shows our continued support and commitment to our Armed Forces and their families.

Today, and every day, we will remember.

Smarter. Standardised. Data-driven.

That’s the foundation of Thurston’s next chapter.

To support our continued growth, we’ve transformed how our manufacturing operation runs — replacing paper-based processes, integrating automation, and creating full production visibility across all sites.

Working together with WrxFlo, we set out to modernise our manufacturing backbone — integrating automation, removing paper-based processes, and creating full visibility across all sites.

The results speak for themselves:
📉 14% reduction in material waste
🚚 27% increase in on-time deliveries
🕒 Reporting lag cut from days to real-time
📋 85%+ of production data now captured digitally

The full case study shares how we brought our people, processes, and technology together to build a truly data-led culture.
