Prefabricated Film Set Buildings In Huddersfield Left In Pieces By Hollywood Strikes
As a UK-based supplier of temporary buildings for film sets, we have felt the blow from the recent Hollywood strikes in Huddersfield. Usually, our prefabricated buildings are designed, manufactured, and installed on tight schedules at studios and film locations nationwide. Instead, they remain paused in dismantled pieces or storage.
However, we are not the only local business affected by the adverse effects of the actors’ strike.
Why are the actors going on strike?
While we all enjoy streaming services such as Netflix and Apple TV, this advancement in viewing technologies has not improved pay or regulations for actors and their unions. This, combined with concerns around A-I technology, led to strikes in Hollywood. These strikes reached across the pond, and we now see British actors and unions protesting, too.
How do Hollywood Strikes Affect Yorkshire?
The effects on local theatres, film sets, film professionals and suppliers to the industry are massive and ongoing. Film delays, new series with no release dates, and losses in earnings mean some people and locations are having to look for alternative sources of revenue. Although we cannot directly comment on other local businesses in our case, we have seen film venues in Yorkshire and London, as well as film production companies, put their temporary buildings on hold. We have dedicated several days of design and manufacturing time to prefabricating buildings with no film location available. The prefab buildings instead remain profitless, taking up valuable storage space until the strikes are resolved.

Prefabricated Cabins & Buildings For Film Sets, Actors & Production Crew
The film industry is a perfect fit for prefabricated and modular buildings due to the temporary nature of sets and frequent design changes. Sustainable modular buildings offer the flexibility needed for this industry. This is why it has been a booming sector for our buildings for many years. What we hope is that the unions, writers, actors and the studios can come to a resolution soon. Otherwise, beyond our building supply, many other sectors will be negatively affected by the outward-flowing ripples of these strikes.
