This is the consumer unit fitted in my shed, it's very compact and I would like to get another. Does anyone the make and who supplies them?

Why get a new one? if it is working fine and not dangerous then leave as it is and save your money, If you do change it then you will need to get an electrician in to do it as its notifiable to building control under the part p stuff.
So do not take this the wrong way but the question you asked in your post about who makes them and where to buy suggests that you are not either a electrician or 'electrically competent' so to speak so I still suggest getting a local electrician in if you do decide to change it.
 
if you need lewden mcbs got loads of them in my garage .
 
I dont want to replace it but I have two other sheds that need one and the existing one is nice and small so I would like get similar ones.
 
Hi AJ - with my tin hat on - if the sheds are on your residential property then a new CU needs to be metal, as a starter for ten. Here's an IP rated one for example :

You must complete a risk assessment. And who pays for your yearly revisit to re-assess the risk?
