Pictures from P McVey Building Systems 40th anniversary event in Ballyscullion Park

Founded in 1986 by Pat McVey, the family business has grown from a small local operation into one of Ireland and the UK’s leading modular construction manufacturers, delivering more than 2,500 projects across the UK and Ireland. Today, the company specialises in the design and manufacture of high-quality off-site construction projects for the education, healthcare and commercial sectors.

Now led by Pat's sons, Adrian and Mike McVey, the business continues to place a strong emphasis on supporting the local economy. Every member of its workforce lives within a 40 mile radius of its Toome headquarters, while around 75% of its supply chain is made up of local businesses.

Speaking at the anniversary event, Director Adrian McVey said: “This was an opportunity to thank the people who have helped build the business over the past 40 years – our current team, former employees, suppliers and everyone who has supported us along the way. We started as a small family business in Co Derry, and although we're now delivering projects across London, Dublin and Belfast, our roots remain firmly here.”

The company has experienced significant growth in recent years while continuing to invest in its manufacturing facilities and workforce. Its portfolio includes education, healthcare and commercial projects throughout the UK and Ireland, including the recently announced Royal Central School of Speech and Drama development in London.
