The Hivve Story | Hivve Sustainable Schools

Forward-thinking > Modular > Smarter

Hivve began as a dream. We observed a need for high-quality, sustainable infrastructure. We responded by creating sustainable, modular buildings integrating clean energy systems, efficiently and affordably, tailored to the education sector. Building on our strengths, we’re now meeting the needs of healthcare, residential and work environments.

Inherent in all we do is a set of ideals. A building must:

be intelligently-designed, aesthetically pleasing and built to last
evoke a sense of welcoming, be flexible and healthy
make a positive, lasting contribution to the environment
integrate smart technology to monitor & optimise performance
deliver lasting true value

To achieve this, our multi skilled team of design, energy, engineering and technology specialists work together to create better buildings and indoor spaces while minimising the environmental impact & energy costs.

Our Directors

David Wrench, Managing Director of Hivve Technology, together with Richard Doyle, Director of Hivve Technology, lead a small, multidisciplinary team of experienced design, engineering and technology specialists who have joined forces to create Hivve.
