This year marks a major milestone as we proudly celebrate 20 years of FES Prefabrication.  Over the past two decades, our prefabrication facilities have expanded to over 112,000 sq ft and are a cornerstone of our business. This division plays a pivotal role in delivering high-quality, innovative, and efficient prefabricated solutions to clients across a wide range of sectors. Our prefabrication team continues to set industry standards for excellence in offsite construction.  FES Prefabrication services include:

• design and build of complex plant rooms
• assembly of M&E service modules, risers, and temporary containerised heating and cooling plant rooms
• steelwork fabrication, walkways, platforms, handrails
• sprinkler pump houses

The commitment, skill, and innovation demonstrated by our teams over the last 20 years have allowed us to streamline project delivery, enhance safety, and ensure consistent quality on every job. Our approach to prefabrication has evolved with the industry, embracing new technologies and modern methods of construction to meet ever-changing project demands. As we look ahead, we remain focused on expanding our capabilities and pushing the boundaries of what prefabrication can achieve.

Here’s to the next 20 years of progress and prefabrication excellence.

We hosted hands-on work-taster workshops showcasing how Building Information Modelling and prefabrication can make construction projects more sustainable, efficient, and future-ready.

We also discussed the green skills and career pathways emerging from these innovative technologies, from digital design and offsite manufacturing to energy-efficient building systems.

Around 50 young people took part throughout the day, and it was fantastic to see such enthusiasm and curiosity about the future of sustainable construction.

We also enjoyed meeting attendees at the lunchtime marketplace exhibition, where we shared more about how these evolving practices are shaping a greener construction industry.

A big thank you to The King’s Trust for organising such an inspiring event, and to all the young people who joined us to explore what a career in the green economy could look like.

This recognition is a testament to Aron’s hard work, dedication, and skill in his apprenticeship journey. The quality of the installations on display at the event was impressive, and we are incredibly proud of the progress Aron has made.

A huge thank you to everyone at Fife College, as well as the generous supporters like Megger and Dewalt, for making this event such a memorable one. Events like these are a fantastic opportunity to showcase the hard work of apprentices and highlight the strong partnerships between employers, training providers, and the industry.  We’re excited to see Aron continue to grow in his career, and we look forward to his future achievements!

A new metered service was connected to the existing distribution network to supply mains water to the kitchen area and outside tap at the Community Garden’s Portakabin. This provided hot and cold water to the Portakabin’s kitchen sink and an outside tap so the group could water their plants and vegetables.

The runners, pictured opposite, L-R were: Alan Hiddleston, Scott Urquhart, Lynn Harley, Martin Abercromby and Greg Eusebi.

Well done to the team in smashing their fundraising target, raising funds for PLUS – a charity that supports young people with all different kinds of disabilities, giving them the chance to partake in group activities and clubs when it can sometimes be difficult to find somewhere they fit in and are accepted.

The team won through the initial round robin stage to qualify for the Champions league knockouts, going on to win the overall event for the second year in a row.

The full team from FES Group was Alan Joyce, Ryan Brown, Martin Abercromby, Chris Lamont, Paul Allum, Grant Anderson, Chris Blair, James Finlay and Declan Wood.

Chris Lamont earned the coveted trophy for player of the match, in the final, chosen by ambassador, Kenny Miller. His exceptional performance played a pivotal role in guiding the team to victory and securing the prestigious Champions League title. Goalkeeper, Alan Joyce, also conceded just 7 goals throughout the day, including a crucial penalty save in the quarter finals, picking up the Golden Glove award for his efforts.

However, the crowning achievement of the day was the team winning a charity donation of £2,200. This will be split 50/50 between Spifox (raising money for children’s charities in Scotland) and Marie Curie cancer care.
