To be known in the marketplace as Pinnacle Offsite, the business is being led by Ernie Price, a prefabrication specialist with over 20 years’ experience.

The facility, based in Walsall in the West Midlands, is already working on the production of prefabricated solutions for customers across the country.

Gareth Simm, HE Simm Group’s CEO, said: “This is a major milestone for us. As we have grown, we have seen a distinct rise in demand from our customer base for prefabricated solutions.

“Our investment in the facility and in the Pinnacle Offsite business overall proves our commitment to this offering, which will enhance what we can provide as a leading MEP player.

“Ernie is a specialist in this field, and we have no doubt that he will make a real success of it. He will work closely with Greg Simm and Marcus Wallis – Managing Directors of our Engineering business in the North and South respectively, to make sure that our bids always comprise, wherever possible, a prefabricated solution.
