Vision Modular, which is behind volumetric housing schemes including the George Street tower scheme in Croydon (pictured, left) and the Lewisham Exchange in Lewisham, said turnover jumped 71% to £87.8m in the year to October 2019.
The business saw pre-tax profit in the period rise 42% to £11m, as it worked to complete Greystar’s 44- and 38- storey George Street towers, thought to be the tallest modular buildings in the UK.
