Premier Modular wanted to maximise the impact of a high‑profile ministerial visit and ensure the event reinforced its position as a leading offsite manufacturer. Pearl Comms provided corporate communications support around Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ visit to the Yorkshire headquarters, managing the planning, messaging and coordination to turn the morning into a powerful platform for Premier Modular’s story. 

The site was chosen as the backdrop for national media interviews across Sky, BBC and ITV, with BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme broadcasting live from the Brandesburton site. Pearl Comms acted as the link between Premier Modular, HM Treasury and other stakeholders, ensuring the visit – including site tour, factory walkthrough and briefing with Group CEO David Harris – ran smoothly and stayed tightly aligned to Premier Modular’s strategic narrative about the future of modular construction in UK infrastructure. 

A ministerial visit brings operational, reputational and communications pressures. Premier Modular needed to host the Chancellor, accommodate national broadcasters and manage multiple stakeholders, while ensuring all messaging supported long‑term business objectives. 

The challenge was to keep logistics, media activity and the corporate narrative joined up. With government teams, broadcasters, Premier Modular’s leadership and internal stakeholders involved, clear roles, timings and expectations were essential. At the same time, the visit had to showcase the facility and its people authentically, demonstrating the benefits of modular construction in a way that would resonate with both policymakers and wider audiences. Pearl Comms’ role was to provide structured project management, event management support and strategic communications guidance so the event delivered with impact.

Pearl Comms led the planning and coordination for the visit, working closely with Premier Modular, HM Treasury and media teams in the days leading up to the event. Project management covered timings, routes, access and on‑site logistics, ensuring the Chancellor’s tour, factory walkthrough and briefing with the Group CEO ran to plan. 

Comprehensive media and stakeholder briefing packs aligned key messages, talking points and practical information for all involved. On the day, Pearl Comms was on site to manage the media presence, support interviews and act as a point of contact for stakeholders. After the visit, the team maintained momentum by creating engaging video content, social media posts and a regional media relations, turning the ministerial morning into a wider communications asset that reinforced Premier Modular’s role in some of the UK’s most significant construction projects. 

The visit delivered high‑profile national coverage, with the Chancellor using Premier Modular’s facility as the backdrop for interviews on Sky, BBC and ITV, and BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme broadcasting live from the headquarters. Premier Modular was positioned as a credible, forward‑thinking partner in the future of UK infrastructure, with modular construction firmly part of the conversation. 

Internally and externally, the event strengthened relationships with key stakeholders and provided rich content for ongoing corporate communications. The video, social media and regional PR activity developed by Pearl Comms ensured the impact extended beyond the day itself, supporting reputation, visibility and stakeholder engagement. The work reflects Pearl Comms’ broader experience delivering stakeholder programmes across public and private sector organisations, at national, regional and hyperlocal levels.
