Founded in 2011, Cleveland began as a small, family-run business specialising in shipping containers. In 2022, Cleveland Containers expanded to become the Cleveland Group, diversifying its offerings to include Cleveland Hire and Cleveland Modular.
This expansion marked the company’s venture into site accommodation and modular buildings, with a focus on eco-friendly, adaptable units. The formation of the Cleveland Group underscores our commitment to becoming a partner of choice in container, hire, and modular solutions across the UK.
