Container Team has acquired three new vans from Vanaways to support its rapid expansion.
The company runs self-storage and mobile refrigeration brands, and has taken delivery of a Volkswagen Transporter Sportline and two new Ford Ranger Tremor pickups.
The new vehicles will be used to help deliver mobile refrigeration units and bring total vehicle purchases to five over the past 12 months.
First established in 2002, Container Team today employs over 25 staff under the management of new managing director Ricky Williams, who took over running the business last year, from its base in Weston-super-Mare.
“We’ve won awards for our customer service and it’s what makes us different from our competitors,” Williams said. “The new Ranger will support our growth and allow us to deliver more of our trailers more efficiently and quickly around the country.
“We want to make sure that there’s minimal chance of customers having to wait for delivery, so reliable vehicles are vital in that respect.”
Vanaways, which moved into new offices near the M5 at Bristol in early 2023, has itself reported strong growth. Company turnover has risen dramatically in 2023, while the business is on track to deliver sales of more than 6,000 vehicles in 2024.
“Alongside our relationship with large businesses, our work with Container Team is a great example of what has fuelled our growth,” said Cedric Ratnasingham, general sales manager at Vanaways.
“We share an ethos with those smaller businesses who pride themselves on customer service over short-term profit, and we’re keen to support as they innovate and grow. We’re sure Ricky’s ambitions will be realised over the coming years and we’re happy to partner with him and the team on that journey.”
