Dutch modular construction company Jan Snel BV, subsidiary of Daiwa House, has established a new UK office in South Wales
From their new waterfront offices in Swansea, Wales, the team at Jan Snel UK will focus on the residential market but work across the sectors to provide healthcare, education and commercial solutions.
Ben Pemberton has been appointed as the UK manager, bringing over 25 years’ experience in the construction industry.
He will shape the company’s further UK growth, supported by a team of industry professionals who are all passionate about what Jan Snel UK has to offer.
With the opening of the new office, Jan Snel wants to set a high-quality standard for modular building in the UK.
The Jan Snel UK team is already working on a new project with developer Abode Waterstone and Coastal Housing Group. The project will provide affordable homes on the former oil refinery site, now the Coed Darcy urban village in South Wales.
A positive contribution to the local economy
Harry van Zandwijk, CEO of Jan Snel, said: “In the UK – particularly in the social housing sector – there is an urgent need for high-quality accommodation that can be delivered quickly.
“Modular construction is the ideal solution. By opening our UK office, we can meet this need expediently, combining our modular expertise with local market knowledge.”
Ben Pemberton added: “We want to bring more jobs to the area and make a positive contribution to the local economy, and we are incredibly excited about what lies ahead.
“Jan Snel’s product is head and shoulders above everything else in the modular market in terms of quality, and I am proud to represent the brand in the UK.”
