Storage container specialist Mobile Mini has shown its commitment to growth with a £1m investment in its branch network.
The firm, headquartered in Stockton, and with 15 bases across the UK, is a leading hirer of portable site accommodation and secure storage containers, while its Mr Box division is capitalising on the popularity of shipping containers as alternative business bases.
Now the firm has relocated and expanded its Bristol branch, strengthening its regional operations amid a period of significant growth for the company, which has also seen it make investments across the business, in its fleet and into transportation equipment and yard and workshop facilities.
Having outgrown its original site following a surge in demand for its services over recent years, Mobile Mini’s new Bristol branch has moved into a purpose built, five-acre facility in the Rockingham South business estate in Avonmouth.
With more space, the site will offer many advantages to its customers, such as quicker turnaround times and greater product availability, while also allowing the company to maintain its reputation for excellence in customer service.
The new branch consists of modern office units for the 18 employees to work in, a large workshop with paint spraying and shot blasting equipment, as well as space for its growing fleet of storage containers, site accommodation units and delivery vehicles.
Andrew Thompson, managing director of Mobile Mini, said: “This is a very exciting time for us. Almost half of our branches have been relocated or expanded to meet customer demand, securing our place as the leading provider of storage and accommodation units.
“Unprecedented investment in our infrastructure helps us to further improve our world-class customer service, and we’re delighted to be able to bring this improvement to Bristol and the South West.”
Mobile Mini UK Ltd is the UK division of Mobile Mini Inc, the US based provider of portable storage solutions.
Its national network of 15 branches have almost 40,000 portable units which provide site accommodation and storage containers to around 17,300 customers including construction companies, retailers, manufacturers, hospitals, schools and shopping centres.
