This is us,

Always moving forward together
RS French is a family-owned and operated powerhouse with over 45 years of experience in transport, specialist lifts and welfare solutions, setting the standard for reliability, innovation, and exceptional service.
Starting as a small local supplier, we’ve grown into a trusted name offering a diverse and ever growing fleet of welfare units, site accommodation and modular buildings serving Industrial, Education, Construction and Healthcare sectors across South East England.
Our dedicated in house transport division – equipped with lorry mounted cranes and run by highly skilled operators, allow us to not just transport our own units but carry out contract and specialist lifts.
As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, RS French now offer a range of renewable power products and solar-powered solutions designed to reduce your carbon footprint without compromising on performance.
Whether you’re looking to meet environmental targets or simply reduce fuel costs, we provide reliable, future-focused power options. By combining our trusted service with modern green technology, we’re helping our customers build a more sustainable future.
As a leading provider of welfare facilities and logistics to the construction sector, we understand our role in shaping a more sustainable and responsible industry. Our approach to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) focuses on:
- Environmental: Lowering emissions through greener transport and energy-efficient welfare units.
- Social: Supporting the wellbeing of site workers, our team, and the communities we serve.
- Governance: Upholding high standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability.
We’re not just delivering products—we’re helping build a future that’s fair, safe, and sustainable for all.
