Three new vehicles and a £500k site investment are heralding a continued era of growth at a rapidly-expanding storage business headquartered near Bristol.

First established in 2002, Container Team today employs 24 staff under the management of new managing director Ricky Williams, who took over running the business in September, from its base in Weston-super-Mare.

The company operates under two brands – The Space Program offers secure storage in shipping containers around seven locations in the South West and South Wales, while Team Refrigeration provides mobile freezers and chiller units in the care home, hospital and hospitality sectors.

Combined turnover is over £4m split evenly between the divisions, with Team Refrigeration seeing a seven-fold increase in the past four years.

To support further growth the company has opened a new storage site in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, alongside investment in new vehicles to enable increased sales and operations capacity for the Team Refrigeration side of the business.

Vehicles have been supplied by Bristol-based Vanaways, who have provided Mr Williams with a new VW Transporter Sportline, with two new Ford Ranger Tremor pick-ups to help delivery mobile refrigeration units.

The new acquisitions bring total vehicle purchases to five over the past 12 months.

"We have used Vanaways on two occasions now and the customer service has always been great. I contacted them as our team grew and withing 2 weeks we had the vans in our yard. Quick and efficient service all round. Tyler in the delivery department kept me up to date throughout the process. Would certainly recommend."

"Vanaways is really great, from contacting them up to the delivery can't be smoother than it was. These guys are professionals and I believe the best in the industry. Thanks to Philip Jones, Ross Davies, Jihad Khan and one or two individuals I had contact with throughout the process. I recommend Vanaways and will use them again."

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"
