A family project which grew into a UK business success story won the Business of the Year (medium/large category) at the Bury Free Press West Suffolk Awards 2023.
Portable Space, based in Bacton, near Stowmarket, is a leading UK supplier of shipping containers and conversions, portable cabins, modular buildings and steel storage containers, to buy or rent.
The company was born in 2002 following a diversity project carried out by the Black family as part of their farming business.
Alongside the continued commercial success, they have moved into our new £1.5 million HQ, funded entirely by cash generated by its everyday operations.
The Bury Free Press West Suffolk Business awards took place at the Apex venue in Bury St Edmunds, on October 13.
