SIP Build UK has partnered with SIP Building Systems Ltd (SBS) in a strategic move which will allow for the further growth and expansion of both companies.
SBS manufacture one of the most highly accredited and certified SIP panels in the UK market due to over 24 years of experience and a continued determination to offer higher performing, thermally efficient, sustainable product to the UK market.
SIP Build UK share this passion and vision and with the expertise, experience and scale to design, engineer and install these systems on site, the partnership has huge potential to streamline the use of these systems to all sectors.
Combined the partnership boasts over 40 years in the successful implementation of SIPs systems and at a time where Building Regulations are more stringent, fuel poverty is increasing and skilled labour is in a shortfall, the potential of a SIP’s approach could not be better positioned to deliver.
The partnership also has a deeper connection as SIP Build UK worked with SBS as they started out on their SIP journey.
Speaking about the partnership, Chris Duckworth (MD at SIP Build UK) stated: "The partnership with SIP Building Systems Ltd is a natural fit for us – it feels just like coming home. We are excited to combine our strengths and propel the construction industry forward, setting new standards in sustainability, efficiency, and quality.
"Together, our commitment underscores our dedication to provide customers with reliable, high-quality SIP panels and construction solutions that not only meet regulatory requirements but also contribute to a more environmentally conscious approach to building projects."
Peter Barr, MD at SIP Building Systems echoed these thoughts and said: "We are delighted to welcome SIP Build UK back as a delivery partner for SIP Building Systems ltd. Chris and the team at SIP Build UK have built a great business over the last 10 years and have become one of the UK’s leading SIP specialists, enjoying a great reputation for quality, service and a passion for creating better buildings.
"We look forward to working with the team to combine our experience and aspirations to grow the SIP market in the UK by providing better insulated, airtight buildings of the highest quality."
