We’re Going to Wembley! Cleveland Containers Shortlisted for Five National Awards

By Cleveland Group in Article

Following our Company of the Year win at the North East Business Awards, we’re heading to London for two national award ceremonies.

It’s been another hugely successful year for Cleveland Containers, with record-breaking growth and company-wide expansion, not to mention securing investment from the private equity firm LDC. To have these ambitions and achievements recognised in both regional and national awards ceremonies is an exciting accomplishment for the entire team, and we’re looking forward to visiting the capital later this year to celebrate.
 
The National Scale-Up Awards, which takes place at Tobacco Dock, London on Thursday 3rd November, champions high-growth companies and the entrepreneurs that run them. It is the first and only awards to focus on the scale-up sector showcasing businesses that have navigated tough conditions by innovating, creating jobs, and achieving growth. We are delighted to be shortlisted in the below categories:

  • Overall Scale-Up Award
  • Family Business of the Year

On Friday 2nd December, we’ll be heading to Wembley Stadium for the sixth annual SME National Business Awards, which aims to raise the profile of industrious, hardworking, and enterprising SMEs nationally. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are businesses whose personnel numbers are 250 employees or less. Cleveland Containers currently employs 73 talented and skilled individuals whose efforts have been instrumental in the successful growth of the company, and we are overjoyed to be finalists in three categories at this event:

  • High Growth Business of the Year
  • Business of the Year more than 50 Employees
  • Family Business of the Year

"I am incredibly proud of everybody for their hard work and dedication, which has resulted in our nominations for these prestigious accolades. These are the first national awards we have been named as finalists for and to be shortlisted in the ‘Family Business of the Year’ categories is extra special for me and my wife, Jane. Since launching in 2011, we have developed a strong business and brand with the support of those who have joined us along the way, and we are excited about the next chapter in the Cleveland journey"

These five award nominations round off an exciting awards season for Cleveland Containers, with us taking home three trophies from both the North East Business Awards and North East Accountancy Awards. 

Not only this, but individuals within the company have also been shortlisted in four categories at North East Young Professionals Awards which takes place at the Hilton Gateshead on Thursday 24th November.
