Following the sale of Greens Recycling, my parents asked me to run their storage business, Big Green Self Storage. In my time at Big Green Self Storage, we have grown to servicing South Wales across 10 sites, with the view to opening three sites per year throughout Wales. We not only offer self-storage, we also store commercial vehicles for large companies throughout the UK.

Our current sites are: Aberaman, Abercynon, Blackwood, Bridgend, Fleur De Lys, Merthyr, Pengam, Radyr, Rassau and Senghenydd.

t/a We Sell Shipping Containers
Whilst I am passionate about storage and enjoy being part of a successful family run business, I enjoy exploring new markets and looking at new products. Since joining Big Green Self Storage and examining their international supply chain, we have now diversified into buying containers directly from China and Turkey.
As a result I have created We Sell Shipping Containers.
Not only do we buy containers, we also sell them. We are one of Wales’ main distributors and offer a variety of containers, including new 20x8ft one trip shipping containers, to converted container offices. We continue to explore other options such as our exciting flat pack storage containers.
We pride ourselves on being competitively priced, have a fantastic customer service team proposition and always conduct ourselves with professionalism. With these three combinations, the company has had a lot of success.

We started Grafo Therm Solutions in 2021 as we noticed a gap in the market for anti-condensation paint services. We tested a number of products and Grafo Therm proved to be the most effective. We have a team of professionals that can apply our anti-condensation treatment to shipping containers, warehouses, garages, aircraft hangars, self-storage containers, metal roofs, corrugated roof sheets, vans, trailers and much more.
