It’s great to be back in London again

It’s great to be back in London again
It’s great to be back in London again.

The MPG team had a fantastic lunch with a modular building and site services business Module8.

We discussed some of Module8's work on the Crossrail and Thames Tideway and had a great meal at the German Gymnasium in St Pancras.



From some of the largest civil infrastructure projects including the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and Heathrow Terminals 2, 3 and 5 to more bespoke and unusual requirements including working in conjunction with English Heritage on a temporary kitchen in the Christopher Wren designed Great Hall at The Chelsea Pensioners, it is unlikely there will be a requirement that the management team of Module8 have not met, delivered and executed previously.
