The MMC sector for category one (volumetric) and category two (panelised) systems is an interesting place to be. The levels of investment and innovation are astounding and, as with any transformative technology, there will be hurdles to overcome. Our industry, unlike others, has nothing to fear from the legislation surrounding the predicted standards and the road to achieve netzero targets in commercial buildings is a well-mapped route.

• The Modular and Portable Building Association plays a key role in supporting all sections of the industry. Leading best practice principles, the association is represented on many committees working for the benefit of members.

Regardless of the size and type of a business, becoming an MPBA member will open doors to valuable business development, training and collaboration opportunities.
