NetZero Buildings specialises in the design, manufacture and delivery of low carbon school buildings.
The acquisition will further boost offsite specialist Premier which is on track to increase turnover from £65m in 2020 to more than £100m this year.
David Harris, Managing Director of Premier Modular, said, “We see fantastic synergies and potential for collaboration between our two businesses. Premier offers new routes to market for NetZero Buildings and the opportunity to deliver their innovative building solutions to new customer segments in addition to their strong presence in the education sector.
“The NetZero team brings tremendous expertise in sustainable building solutions which will supercharge our strategy for Premier to become a market leader in the delivery of low carbon buildings to the benefit our customers and the communities in which we live and work.
“The acquisition will further strengthen our position in the education sector, and expands our range of offsite building systems to give us even more design flexibility and the opportunity for hybrid construction solutions to meet customer requirements.”

NetZero Buildings and Premier Modular are both part of Cabot Square’s private equity portfolio.
Keith Maddin, Partner at Cabot Square, said: “Premier has grown rapidly year-on-year and has become one of the highest performing and profitable businesses in the dynamic offsite sector. It has strong leadership and manufactures high quality buildings for hire, long-term lease and sale.
“We believe this acquisition, the huge potential for collaboration, and the strong environmental credentials that NetZero brings, will accelerate Premier’s journey to becoming one of the leading offsite businesses in Europe.”
