Thurston Group's Strategic Evolution with MDIS

For over 50 years, Thurston Group has been at the forefront of the UK's modular and

portable building industry. From their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in West Yorkshire, they have built a reputation for delivering high-quality, bespoke building solutions across a multitude of sectors, including education, healthcare, and defence. Their commitment to innovation, quality, and client collaboration has cemented their status as a market leader.

Thurston Group engaged with MagicDust Interim Solutions (MDIS), who introduced them to Hayley. She quickly became an invaluable and trusted member of the senior leadership team. Rather than acting as a temporary consultant, Hayley was deeply embedded in the business, providing the strategic and operational horsepower Thurston needed.

The MDIS model provided a robust support structure that empowered Hayley to deliver exceptional results. This unique approach combined high-level strategic input with honest, constructive challenges and consistent behind-the-scenes support, ensuring that Thurston Group received a comprehensive and impactful service tailored to their specific needs.

Here is what Matt Goff, Managing Director of Thurston Group, had to say about the experience:

"Working with Hayley through MDIS has been transformational for Thurston. She quickly became a trusted part of the senior leadership team — helping us sharpen our strategic focus in Health and Education, originate opportunities, and strengthen our market positioning.

But what really stood out was the MDIS approach. It wasn’t just about placing someone capable — it was about backing that person with a structure that combined strategic input, honest challenge, and behind-the-scenes support, when and where it was needed.

When Hayley stepped in as interim Operations Director, she did more than hold the fort. She represented us in front of major clients, led complex project delivery, and became a true extension of our leadership team. The support we received was senior, impactful, and exactly what we needed.”
