UK Container Maintenance Wins “Corporate Social Responsibility” In E3 Business Awards

Winnington-based container repair and refurbishment company, UK Container Maintenance has been named “Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year” at the 2014 E3 Business Awards. The event was held on the evening of 18th September at the Macron Stadium in Bolton.

UK Container Maintenance (UKCM), the UK’s largest family owned container repair and refurbishment company completely dedicated in the refurbishment of all types of waste and recycling containers, was one of four finalists in this category. Owing to the large number of entrants - which was considerably higher than in 2013 - competition was fierce and the organisers were keen to point out that even a shortlisting therefore represented a very creditable achievement.

Receiving the award, UKCM’s co-founder, Emma Elston said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have won the Corporate Social Responsibility Award at this year’s E3 Awards. We work incredibly hard to be socially responsible as a business and to be recognised for it is a fantastic achievement for the whole team.

“The nature of our business is to recycle old containers and transform them back to working order and by doing so; we are also helping our customers fulfil their corporate social responsibility objectives as they don’t have to buy brand new waste containers which can be an expensive investment.”

Emma added: “As UKCM expands even further, we will continue to promote our business ethics in hope that we inspire others, especially the importance of working closely with the local community as it great to give something back to others, particularly raising valuable funds for neighbouring charities which are in need of support.”

Speaking on behalf of 1 Events Media, which conceived and hosted the awards, managing director Mubarak Chati said: “UKCM can be very proud of its business achievements this year and, of course, for winning the award itself. In a year in which we received a record number if nominations, the standard of entries was exceptionally high so to win this category proves that the company and its staff have done something very special indeed.

“The judges have been impressed by many different businesses this year. I’ve spoken to a number of them who’ve said how encouraged they were to see North West companies with so much vision, talent and determination to succeed. That certainly applies to UKCM and I congratulate them - not only for their win but for making a positive contribution to the growth of the region’s economy.”
