The company specialises in the manufacture of high-end modular bathroom pods which are shrink wrapped before being shipped to the construction site.

Connex is part of a group of businesses including Doherty Developments, Re-Gen Waste, Re-Gen Robotics and Re-Eng.

The business operates out of a 25,000 sq ft factory and currently employs 25 staff, with a further 19 subcontractors.

Brendan Doherty, managing director at Connex (pictured above), said: “Off-site manufacturing is one of the fastest growing modern methods of building in the UK and is being embraced by the construction industry.

“It demands faster delivery of product into production lines, in some cases up to 20 times faster than traditional construction.

“So, not only are we reducing costs and saving man hours, we are also manufacturing a better-quality product and providing a controlled environment that is safe and warm and therefore a more pleasant place for our staff to work.”
