East Yorkshire offsite manufacturer Premier Modular has completed a sports facility in the Netherlands, including the delivery of a clubhouse, shower block and catering facilities, all within six weeks. The company, based at Brandesburton, near Driffield, provided the scheme for the Municipality of Enschede, a local government authority responsible for managing the city and surrounding communities of Enschede.
The high-quality, long-term, rental modular facility will be used by local football club, Surinaamse Voetbal Vereniging 1991 (SVV ’91) for three years while their main sports park undergoes redevelopment. SVV’91 competes in the District East, Saturday League five of the Dutch amateur football system, so the sports facility needed to provide seamless continuity during construction.
In just six weeks, Premier Modular designed and installed a new development consisting of two buildings. The first facility is a two-bay shower block and changing area, with separate areas for the home and away teams, and the second is the community centre, containing a clubhouse, meeting room, a multi-use space, a bar and a canteen with catering facilities. Across both buildings, which span 220sq m in total, six modules were used with a 2.7m ceiling height.
The project required a bespoke design, particularly for the shower blocks, which were complex due to their fully open-plan layout, raised floors, and central gully drainage system. The structure was designed with future flexibility in mind, so additional floors or space can be added as the renovation projects continue.
Jesper Wielinga, project manager at the Municipality of Enschede, said: “We had very specific requirements for the project. The site sits on the boundary of a large residential housing estate, so the facility had to be aesthetically pleasing and constructed with minimal disruption to local residents.
“Premier Modular rapidly delivered a high-quality facility that met the club’s requirements and provided flexibility while staying within budget. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the collaboration.”
David Oakley, general manager at Premier Modular, said: “At Premier Modular, our focus is on delivering modern, sustainable buildings that support communities. On this project, our team’s meticulous planning and offsite expertise enabled us to overcome the site’s constraints and complete the installation and fit-out in just three days.
“By combining precision offsite manufacture with effective on-site delivery, we were able to complete a high-quality facility on time and to budget, while minimising disruption and meeting the client’s sustainability goals. Our modular solutions support a circular economy by reducing material waste, minimising carbon emissions, and ensuring buildings can be repurposed, reconfigured, or recycled at the end of life.”
Premier Modular also recently scooped a major international award. The firm won a 2026 International Safety Award from the British Safety Council in recognition of its commitment to keeping its workers and workplaces healthy and safe.
Premier Modular’s state-of-the-art factory, based on a 37-acre site in Brandesburton, received a distinction, one of the most prestigious recognitions in health and safety. Now in their 68th year, the International Safety Awards recognise and celebrate organisations from around the world that have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the scheme’s independent judges their commitment to preventing workplace injuries and work-related ill health.
Premier Modular has been recognised in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 by the British Safety Council for its commitment to workplace health and safety. Across its manufacturing site and offices, the team have implemented key features to enhance workplace wellbeing, through practices such as increasing signage, providing training, monitoring PPE compliance, completing factory audits, weekly toolbox talks on health and safety topics and displaying important information clearly.
