With over 19 years of experience, the company has established itself as a market leader in commercial offsite fabrication, providing a range of services including design, fabrication, supply, installation, and commissioning of bespoke modular MEP solutions (source: growjo.com). Their offerings include renewable heating systems such as biomass boilers, ground source heat pumps, air source heat pumps, and solar panels, catering to domestic, commercial, and industrial applications.
