Leading modular space solutions provider McAvoy has reported a significant financial boost, with revenue surpassing £75 million and EBITDA rising to £9.3 million for the 2023/24 financial year.

The company, a key player in the UK and Ireland’s modular building sector, credits its impressive performance to strong growth within its rental division and a notable uptick in sales for its flexible space solutions.
