A TEESSIDE-based storage provider is offering 72-hour free container hire for charities, essential businesses and those involved in major infrastructure projects, local government and healthcare services.

Mobile Mini, which is headquartered in Stockton and operates from 15 branches nationwide, is keen to help as many organisations as possible during the coronavirus pandemic through a recent offer and its community involvement programme.

The scheme allows branch staff to provide a storage solution to local charities for up to six months, completely free of charge.

The business is also offering 72 hours of free container hire for businesses that need support to ensure distancing for teams, provide secure storage for stock and add additional space to stay operational.

Managing director of Mobile Mini, Andrew Thompson, said: “The country needs to pull together at a time like this, and we are passionate about providing as much help and support as we can.

“Organisations across the UK will inevitably be struggling, but we can offer an easy solution to that.

“With our range of secure storage containers and portable accommodation units, as well as other essential items such as fencing, lighting and chemical toilets, we want to do everything we can to keep the nation in business.”

The firm has previously offered its free service charities and foundations, including Cleveland Mountain Rescue, community sports teams, food banks and more.
