Elevating & Transforming the Training Centre
Portable Offices worked with Derby County Football Club to deliver new modular buildings at their Moor Farm Training Centre. The facilities have transformed the site’s media and training areas, improving the environment for both staff and players while supporting the club’s long-term development goals.

The additional buildings have revolutionised our working area in the press and media centre and provided purpose-built, state-of-the-art training spaces.

The Academy’s Vision
Derby County Football Club’s Academy at Moor Farm needed improved space to accommodate media operations and to enhance the training environment for its development teams. The existing facilities were no longer meeting the club’s growing needs and ambitions, particularly as the Academy aimed to strengthen the pathway for young players to the first team.
The club sought a fast, high-quality solution that could be delivered with minimal disruption to the ongoing operations of the site.
Challenges and Solution
Portable Offices designed and supplied a series of modular buildings, creating a modern press and media centre along with new areas for training and administration. The project required close coordination to ensure that installation fitted seamlessly within the existing complex and maintained the club’s professional image.
The modular approach provided the flexibility and speed needed to upgrade the site efficiently while meeting Derby County’s performance and aesthetic standards.

Portable Offices provided a first-class service for us. They were attentive to our needs and delivered exactly what we required, on time.

Conclusion
The new modular facilities have delivered a marked improvement to the working and training environment at Moor Farm. The upgrades support the club’s wider strategy to develop homegrown talent and enhance the Academy experience.
The partnership between Derby County and Portable Offices demonstrates how modular buildings can provide professional, practical and cost-effective solutions in high-performance sports settings.
