Container firm expands into West Midlands with new office

Cleveland Containers has launched a new Midlands office.

Based in Wolverhampton, the new office is the latest expansion venture for Cleveland Containers, which has hired Lewis Westley and Callum Davis to the company.

Davis said: “The container industry is new to me but I’m sure that my strong background in sales has given me the skills required to assist our customers with their needs and any questions they may have. I’m looking forward to working alongside the rest of the team, learning all about our products and seeing how the business develops.”

He joins fellow new starter Lewis Westley, who is well-versed in container sales after beginning his career as an apprentice more than seven years ago.

Westley said: “Joining Cleveland Containers has been refreshing as I have never worked with a team of this scale. Everybody is great to work with and helped me to settle in in no time. Here at Cleveland Containers, everyone is working hard to expand and take the business to the next level which is the main reason why I joined. I can see a real goal here and it’s great to see.”

The southern expansion follows Cleveland Container’s recent £1.2m new 6,000 sq ft head office at Preston Farm Industrial Estate in Stockton-on-Tees, and a 2.6-acre depot and workshop in Grangetown, Middlesbrough, to allow for further growth as the demand for containers continues to increase.

Johnathan Bulmer, managing director of Cleveland Containers said: “Lewis and Callum have hit the ground running and made an impressive start here at Cleveland Containers. The addition of our second office in Wolverhampton and expansion of our southern sales team serve to strengthen our position in Wales and the south of England as the UK’s leading container supplier and I am confident that they will fully support our customers in the south as they have already demonstrated that they are excellent additions to our growing sales team.”
