A growing shipping container company has triumphed as the Company of the Year at the grand final of the North East Business Awards.
The win tops a record-breaking year for Cleveland Containers, which supplies containers as well as modification services from its Stockton base, and has seen turnover rise to more than £60m this year. The family firm won the final trophy of the night at the black tie event at Hardwick Hall, where hundreds of the firm’s peers had gathered for the biggest awards night in the region’s business calendar.
Launched in 2011, the company saw first-year turnover of £1.1m but has since grown to deliver hundreds of containers every week, operating out of more than 15 depots across the UK. The firm had earlier this year been named Teesside Company of the Year, and the following day announced it had secured a minority investment from private equity firm LDC to help steer the firm through the next stage of its growth.
