Work, rest and play with Ferguson Modular
Ferguson Modular has played an active role in Aberdeenshire since the business was established in 1976.  The area has provided us with a loyal workforce and the space to develop excellent manufacturing facilities and we aim to ensure we continue to give something back to the local community, not only in terms of employment but also in the form of supporting local projects and sports events.

Ferguson Teams Make a Splash!
The 31^st of March saw Ferguson Modular Ltd & Ferguson Seacabs Ltd each entering a team of eight into the Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland White Water Rafting Challenge.
