IDMH Rebrand as Lighthouse

One of the UK’s leading modular housebuilders –IDMH Limited – has rebranded to Lighthouse. The rebranding marks the start of a new era for the business which has undergone major changes since a restructuring in 2020 that saw Tom White appointed as CEO and the nurturing of a talented team.

“The past two years have been about laying the foundations for the business and providing a strong operational platform that enables us to invest in our people and processes to create an innovative and scalable business,” says Tom. “We have built a best-in-class team and continue to hire top talent for key roles. We have also developed a strong culture for excellence, hard work and transparency. We are working with a wide range of clients on some highprofile projects across the UK.

“The rebrand signals that we are entering a new chapter. One where our focus on quality, speed and sustainability reflects the important role of modular construction in building more homes in the UK at the pace the nation needs, whilst driving significant environmental benefits in the construction sector.”

The new name, Lighthouse, represents the business’s focus on robust quality, an emphasis on homes that are well designed with respect to light and space and the company’s pioneering spirit. Supporting the new company name is a new website. The company’s legal entity and legal name (IDMH Limited) remain unchanged.

Using proprietary software, rigorous processes and sustainable materials at its factory in Tinsley, Sheffield, Lighthouse manufactures high quality modular buildings that can be delivered at speed. Current projects include delivering modular solutions for the Fair Isle Bird Observatory Trust, The Royal Borough of Greenwich, nHouse in Cirencester, Youngman Lovell at Bicester Village and apartments in Worthing for BoKlok, a partnership between Skanska and IKEA. Lighthouse employs over 100 people at its manufacturing facility in Sheffield and its regional office at The Innovation Centre, Sci-Tech Daresbury in Warrington.
