Low-carbon modular housebuilder, Lighthouse, has become the newest member of the modular housing trade body, Make UK Modular
Make UK Modular, ‘the voice of the UK’s modular housing manufacturers’, has a 30 for 30 mission to enable the modular housing sector to deliver 30,000 modular homes annually by 2030.
The trade body recently published its 2022 Make UK Modular Y1 Impact Report, which showed that in its first year of operation, it met with more than 20 MPs and Peers to substantially increase political awareness of modular housing.

The modular industry needs ambitious and innovative businesses like Lighthouse to thrive. I, and all our members, are already working closely with their team.”
