Tees Valley Wildlife Trust

Tees Valley Wildlife Trust is a member of a nationwide partnership comprised of 47 Wildlife Trusts across the UK. The team is currently responsible for the stewardship of 15 Nature Reserves across Tees Valley. 

After a successful funding application granted by GlobalGiving in partnership with Cummins, the Trust replaced their outdated 20ft containers featuring a make-shift cover between the two, with a 20ft One Trip Side Opening Container and a 30ft Container which had been cut down from a 40ft One Trip Shipping Container.  

Needing to store vital plant, equipment and tools, the Trust chose a 20ft One Trip Side Opening container as it allows for better access for loading and unloading from their trailer. It also allowed them to access all of the container quickly due to being able to open one whole side. To maximise the remaining available space they also bought a 30ft Container.

It was past time we replaced our old containers, so when this was made possible by a GlobalGiving grant made in partnership with Cummins, we were keen to make sure we got containers that were right for the job. Working out the best way to utilise the grant money was made easy thanks to the wealth of experience that the Sales and Conversions Teams possess, Cleveland Containers being such a well-respected and local business was a bonus.
