Storage Containers for Schools, Colleges & Universities

In our conversations with customers who work in schools, colleges and universities it’s quite common to hear the same problems. Throughout academia organisations are finding themselves increasingly short of storage space. Storage is needed for sports equipment, exam furniture, archive paperwork, Text books etc. In the past, when schools and universities enjoyed larger development budgets the answer may have been to construct additional buildings on site.

Shipping…

So anything that can be done to minimise stress for groundskeepers must be a good thing.

Never ordered a container before. Jane & Matt made the process simple to understand and simple to order.

Container was perfect. Looked like it had only been used once and was perfect for storing our furniture.

Pound for Pound, much cheaper than other storage options.

Would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks
