Cleveland Containers
The Stockton firm was named North East Company of the Year in September, having won the same prize in Teesside earlier in the year.
The company, which was launched in 2011, recorded first-year turnover of £1.1m but has since grown to become a £60m operation delivering hundreds of containers every week, operating out of more than 15 depots across the UK. In June the company received investment from mid-market private equity firm LDC to support the next stage of its growth journey and it later launched two new divisions.
