A North East family business that started with just seven storage containers in Darlington is expanding into container sales and hire - the latest step in a decade of steady growth that has taken the company from a single site to 12 locations across the region.
Bluebox Storage, founded in 2015, now operates sites in Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton, Durham, South Shields, Swalwell, Dunston, Stanley, Hull and Carlisle, with over 1,500 containers and 240,000 square feet of storage space.
Β Over the past year the business has also added a removals service, and is now moving into container sales and hire to meet growing demand from both domestic and business customers.
Henry Ward, Director of Bluebox Storage, said:
"We started with seven containers in Darlington and grew by doing the basics well β clean, secure storage, affordable prices, and people who actually answer the phone. The removals service was a natural extension of that, because a lot of our customers were moving home anyway. Container sales and hire is the next step. There's real demand for it across the region and it makes sense for us to offer it."
The business has expanded steadily across County Durham, Teesside, Tyne and Wear, and beyond - remaining family-run throughout. Where national chains offer indoor units in large facilities, Bluebox has built its reputation on weatherproof steel containers with 24/7 access, flexible terms and no long-term contracts.
The container sales and hire expansion means businesses and individuals across the North East will be able to purchase or hire containers directly - for storage on site, building projects, events, or commercial use β backed by the same service that has built Bluebox's reputation in self-storage.
