Introduction
Pilgrim’s Pride UK, the largest higher-welfare pig farmer in Britain, needed to expand its Cornwall operation.
As part of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, the world’s largest food company, this division is key in supplying sustainably sourced pork products to over 100 countries.
Project Requirements and Planning
To support this expansion, Pilgrim’s Pride UK required new facilities, including an additional entrance, a locker room, and a changing area. Given the limited space at the Cornwall site, the company chose to use two portable cabins linked by a corridor to integrate seamlessly with the existing factory layout.
This approach allowed the factory to maintain operational efficiency without the need for extensive construction work.
Choosing Portable Offices
Projects Manager Desmond Roberts, newly appointed at the time, led the expansion project. After researching various portable building providers, he was impressed by Portable Offices’ strong reputation and positive reviews.
Familiar with their products and services from a previous rental, Desmond was confident in choosing Portable Offices, who were already a preferred supplier for Pilgrim’s Pride.
Smooth Installation and Excellent Service
The project was managed by Kate and Alex from the Bristol office of Portable Offices, who provided exceptional service from the beginning.
They expertly navigated the company’s systems and processes, ensuring a smooth project execution. A minor issue with a rental unit was swiftly resolved, further solidifying Desmond’s trust in their capabilities.
“
It was a fantastic experience. No issues whatsoever. I would never go anywhere else.
