Following his decision to step down from the day-to-day running of the business, it has been announced that Chief Operating Officer Andrew Thompson will take over as CEO.
The news follows last year's announcement of the launch of the Cleveland Group, which encompasses the existing container arm along with two new divisions, Cleveland Hire and Cleveland Modular.
Mr Bulmer said: "After launching the Cleveland Group last year, it has always been our wish to strengthen the management team to enable the business to grow and flourish without the direct day to day involvement of myself and Jane.

"We appointed Andrew as Chief Operating Officer in May 2022 knowing we had the right candidate, meaning that the cultural fit was right for him and the senior team to take the business forward."
Andrew, who was previously Managing Director and Senior Vice President of Mobile Mini UK, has more than 20 years management and leadership experience, in both the public and private sector.
Mr Thompson said: "While we'll all miss Johnathan's day-to-day involvement, I’m extremely excited about what the future holds.
"It is a privilege to lead Cleveland and I’m particularly looking forward to unlocking the potential of all the talented people that we have in the business, coupled with the incredible ambition that we have, which is reflected in the scale of the investment that we are making."
