May 2024 sees the 10,000th mobile welfare unit manufactured
and delivered from our HQ in South Wales.

We are so proud of this achievement, having delivered the first ever Groundhog in 1987 to a new customer, The London Borough of Hillingdon.

GH0001 was a brand new concept, with the mobile welfare unit having all facilities powered by gas. The main feature of the new Groundhog was the patented ground lowering system that enabled the user to tow the welfare unit to site and lower securely into position, literally hogging the ground, hence the name Groundhog.

After many years of exhibitions, shows and understanding clients’ requirements, GH5000 was delivered in August 2014.

This unit had the same basic principles of GH0001, only this time offered state-of-the-art sustainable features from our new GP360 Fusion Pulse range, giving the user carbon reduction savings through a single roof-mounted solar panel and onboard battery charging system.

GH10000 will be delivered to our strategic client Morgan Sindall Infrastructure, having worked together for many years to develop the iRange to meet their specific requirements for their end users. The i550 and i500 twin toilet offer sustainable welfare facilities, giving generator free running for summer periods and up to 90% reduction in carbon emissions throughout the winter months. This is a far cry from the original GH0001.

It is vital that any investment we make in site welfare solutions is aligned with our net-zero goals and our commitment to being a responsible business.

Working collaboratively with Groundhog, we’ve been able to develop a product that not only meets the end-user needs – a space that is welcoming, enticing and more inclusive. The units are also continually helping us to reduce our carbon emissions via the solar panels, reduced vehicle movements and influencing behavioural change through the visible telemetry within the units.”
