Billie Box is 5 years old

Jane on August 3, 2017

Billie Box is 5 years old on 12th August 2017!

Since Billie Box started trading on 12th August 2012 the business has gone from strength to strength. Starting at the tail end of a national recession certainly made for an interesting ride. Expertise has certainly won through; with Jane Billing’s 30 years of knowledge and experience of the container industry gave their customers peace of mind when dealing with Billie Box.

Billie Box has not only offered a great container sales and rental service. In July 2013 they introduced shipping container conversions, into Chemical stores for many industries such as farming, education and manufacturing. This year they offer 20ft portable steel offices, canteens and office/stores. All this is with delivery around the UK.

With business increasing year on year for Billie Box, it proved too much for Jane. So in 2016 Matt Boyle joined the company and he has proved to be a great asset to the company. Matt is learning the ropes and making sure that Jane has support wherever possible.

Throughout the last 5 years, Billie Box has actively been involved in fundraising for many charities. In 2013 Jane held a grand draw for Cancer campaign in Suffolk. In 2014 she held the first Billie Box Ball in aid of Cancer Campaign in Suffolk. In 2015 Jane cycled with her sister-in-law from London to Paris for St. Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich. In 2016 Billie Box had their second Billie Box Ball for the Clic Sargent Cancer charity for the young. In 2017 Billie Box have sponsored many worthy charities, some include the Papworth Trust, Age UK, Princes Trust & East Anglian Childrens Hospice, Ipswich. To date Billie Box has raised over £21,000 for various charities. The plan for the future is to continue supporting many charities.

By way of a celebration Billie Box is offering a Free Baseball cap with every order paid from now until to 31st August 2017.

Cereals 2017

Jane on January 5, 2017

In 2017 we are investing further in meeting the needs of the agricultural community.  As a result we are proud to announce that we will be exhibiting at the Cereals 2017 arable farming event in Lincolnshire in June.

The annual Cereals event is one of the biggest in the agricultural calendar, with over 24,000 attendees. Roughly half of the people who attend Cereals are farm owners and managers. Exhibiting at the event gives us a valuable opportunity to meet farmers, and gain a better understanding of how we can serve this vital sector.

Our time at Cereals 2016 was a great success. We were able to build on our knowledge of the issues that matter most to arable farmers. As we have mentioned in previous posts, one of the biggest issues facing today’s farmers is the need to store chemicals safely. In answer to this problem we will be exhibiting one of our popular secure chemical stores at Cereals 2017.

Our chemical stores are converted shipping containers and match the specification dictated by the Health and Safety executive. Farmers are increasingly under pressure, not just from government departments, but are also being challenged to change the way they store and handle chemicals by the companies they supply. For example, the Tesco ‘Natures Choice’ scheme imposes very specific guidelines for farmers. Our chemical stores are a cost effective, long term solution to the increasing problem of safe and secure chemical storage.

In addition to our chemical stores we also offer new containers for farmers who are interested in diversifying their business by offering self storage.

Consequently we are very much looking forward to meeting with existing customers and meeting some new people at Cereals 2017. If you would like to arrange a meeting during Cereals 2017 or would like to discuss how we can help you now please get in touch by calling us on 0800 121 7388 or emailing us.

Jane Billing – the Expert in Shipping and Storage Containers

Jane on January 24, 2013

Jane is our resident expert in shipping containers. She has been working in the shipping container industry for nearly 40 years both for other employers and for herself. Jane worked for ‘Container survey services’ (contractor for Unicon International UK office, where they surveyed containers for shipping purposes) from 1986 until 2000 as a ‘data processing clerk’ initially which led to an office management role. Jane was dealing with shipping lines, container leasing companies and container depots all over the UK.

In 2000 she became director and joint owner of a shipping container resale and leasing company for 9 years and she sold her share in the business in 2009. In September 2012 Jane decided to return to “what she knows” so she started up another shipping container re-sale business called Billie Box Ltd.

Jane is the sole owner and director of Billie Box, which offers 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping/storage containers that are perfect for secure static storage on a sale basis. The 20ft and 40ft containers are also available to hire. The containers can also be converted by Billie Box into chemical stores or portable offices. Billie Box offers a full service that includes the supply of containers, as well as various accessories and transportation to your door.

Jane is a keen fundraiser for mainly cancer charities. Over the last 12 years Jane has raised and donated over £50,000 for many charities that include Cancer campaign in Suffolk, AGE Suffolk, St. Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich, CLIC Sargent, Papworth Trust, Myeloma UK, Centrepoint, Home Start, Suffolk, Colchester & Ipswich Hospital charity, Families in Need and Tiffers Bus, Ipswich and many more.

Jane said: “I have had a successful career, so far, in the shipping container industry, building a good knowledge of shipping containers along with gaining mutual respect from a number of my colleagues and customers. I am here at Billie Box to assist my customers, now and in the future, with all their shipping and storage container requirements. I also really enjoy fundraising and hope to increase the £50K already raised over the last few years”.
