Its members consist of companies directly involved within the modular and portable building industry and the Associate Members are companies involved in the supply of products and services to the industry.

Since 1938 dedicated businessmen have associated together to improve their industry, its products and the service they provide to their clients.

The MPBA is an association for the promotion and marketing of its Members and Associate Members products and services and has definitive aims, objectives and codes of conduct. Our Members are able to supply for either purchase or hire;

• New manufactured modular and portable buildings
• Quality pre-owned modular and portable buildings

'Associate Members' are companies with strong business contacts within the industry that are able to supply materials, components and services to our Members.

Today in a market worth billions of pounds, the Modular and Portable Building Association has members who specialise in al  types of building applications. Many of our members offer a variety of finance packages including hire, purchase and lease purchase. The Association's members are spread throughout the British Isles and there are also overseas associate members from other continents as well as the EU.

The Association holds bi-monthly meetings at various locations around the country and occasionally at member’s premises. On occasions, we have a guest speaker to give a presentation about a subject or matter that is important to the Association. You can apply to become a member of the MPBA to start receiving the benefits that the Association offers.

In addition to the Council for the Association we have three main committees;

• Marketing and Membership - Deals with membership and promotion of the Association
• Technical - Deals with building regulations, construction, manufacturing and technical issues
• Health and Safety - Deals with all aspects of Health and Safety associated with the industry  

The Association is represented on the British Standards Committee, which deals with modular and portable buildings of all types. The MPBA has published several Codes of Practice, some of which have subsequently been incorporated into the British Standards.

We are also consulted by various Government advisory committees on changes to legislation, such as the recent updating to the building regulations. This role has proved to be of particular importance as statutory bodies are unable to consult with individual companies and can only take advice from industry associations.
