Skip Units Ltd. was formed on the 1st June 1976 as a company to manufacture containers for the waste disposal industry. The current premises have been occupied since 1976 with major refurbishment taking place during 1995 & 1996. The company was a member of a group of companies until 1995 when a management buy-out took place. In August 1999 Skip Units became a subsidiary of Ramshorn Ltd. allowing the venture capital house that had supported the management buy-out to exit. Ramshorn Ltd is owned by the Directors of Skip Units Ltd.
