The container hire business operates a fleet of about 500 high quality containers and will be merged with Mobile Mini’s existing Scottish business, also based in Glasgow.  The deal allows Frasers to focus on its core transportation and container repair business, which will continue to operate separately.

Mobile Mini currently has a 367 strong UK workforce at its headquarters in Stockton on Tees and 16 depots across the country, from Glasgow to Gravesend.  It is the first acquisition for the company in the UK since the transformational acquisition of Ravenstock MSG in 2008.

Chris Morgan, MD, Mobile Mini UK commented: “Our acquisition of Frasers is part of our growth strategy in the UK, which includes strengthening our container hire business and extending our reach into new market sectors such as retail and education.

“Frasers’ high quality, highly utilised, containers fit well with our own container fleet, and we expect a seamless transition for Frasers’ existing container hire customers. We’ve worked with Frasers for many years and both companies have a belief in providing high quality, personalised service.”
