Net-zero modular housing manufacturer Starship Group is to relocate its entire offsite manufacturing facility, in a move that it says will create more than 100 jobs.
Starship will move the facility from Deeside, near the Wales-England border, to the Mobil Building at Wirral Waters’ Mea Park.
The move follows the relocation of the group’s head office to Hythe, Peel L&P’s office building at Wirral Waters, earlier this year.
Starship’s new manufacturing campus is expected to be fully operational by mid-August, when it transfers all its residential manufacturing from Deeside.
Starship Group was founded in 2020 following the merger of a number of property development and construction businesses.
The group builds net-zero modular homes for clients including housing associations, private developers, and investors.
Its business model focuses on panelised delivery, which reduces waste in the manufacturing, storage, and transport of homes.
Dave Dargan, managing director at Starship Group, said: “We are really excited to be bringing our offsite manufacturing facilities to Wirral Waters, which will mean our whole Starship team will now be on one single Campus.
“The new campus will focus on delivering on our significant residential MMC pipeline and is expected to create over 100 new jobs over the next 12 months.
“We have a fantastic partnership with Peel L&P, and we are working hard together to put Wirral Waters on the map as a regional centre of excellence for Modern Methods of Construction and the creation of next generation construction skills.”
