Composite appoints Hallmark PR

Winchester-based Hallmark Public Relations has been appointed by Composite to increase brand awareness in the UK.

With its UK headquarters in Eastleigh, Composite offers the fastest construction of prefabricated buildings in the market – with builds ranging from car parks, housing and schools to factories and prisons. It has achieved this through its ethos of off-site construction, highly skilled project management and expertise in the design and use of precast concrete and structural steel.

Roy Nield-Dumper, managing director at Composite, said: “We’re delighted to have Hallmark PR on board to support our drive to boost the profile of our business. We were particularly impressed with the firm’s strong track record in the property and construction industry, successful business-to-business campaigns and in-depth experience of planning issues.”

Steve Wilson, director at Hallmark PR, added: “This is an exciting time for Composite. The company has recently undergone a name change from M T Højgaard (UK) Ltd to Composite and is completely rebranding. Composite has ambitious plans to rapidly expand its business in the UK. We’re looking forward to helping them achieve this expansion primarily through media relations and building awareness of the business within their target markets.”

As well as the speed of construction, other benefits of prefabricated buildings include reduced energy consumption and low long-term maintenance. In addition, reduced health and safety risks as a result of off-site construction make it a practical and cost-effective option for many organisations.
