Stockton's Mobile Mini firm reports record £66m turnover for 2017

Mobile Mini, a hirer of portable site accommodation and secure storage containers, has reported record results for its UK business.

Stockton-on-Tees-headquartered Mobile Mini’s turnover reached £66.6m during the 12 months to December 2017, an 11.3 per cent increase on the previous year.

This record revenue has been driven in part by a significant investment by the company in growing its fleet of steel storage containers and portable offices, canteens and welfare facilities, which now stands at almost 40,000 units.

Further investment has also seen Mobile Mini expand, improve and relocate several of its branches to increase capacity and further improve product quality.

Operating from 15 branches across the UK, Mobile Mini now has a newly-opened flagship branch serving London and the South East, expanded branches in West Yorkshire and South Wales, as well as improved facilities across the country.

Continued investment in people has also seen the company’s workforce grow to 442, backed up by a record investment in training and development.

In 2017, the company also opened its National Training Centre in Liverpool.

Mobile Mini’s revenue growth was also supported by the double acquisition of rival container companies Containers 2000 and Mr Box at the end of 2016. This gave the company the opportunity to strengthen its existing container hire and sales business, as well as extending its presence in key non-construction markets such as retail, hospitality and education.

Chris Morgan, managing director at Mobile Mini, said: “2017 has been another successful year in terms of growth, driven by continued investment in our people, products and equipment.

“The significant investment in our branch network has given us increased capacity, improved working conditions for our employees and helped us to maintain our excellent reputation for high quality products.

“Investment in our branch infrastructure will continue to be a priority for us over the next 12 months, helping us to maintain our market-leading position.”
