The Delta Group

The Delta Group

The Delta Group of companies consists of five privately owned businesses operating in the industrial packaging and recycling sectors. To this day and since the mid 1970's the majority shareholding of all businesses in the group has been held by the White family.

The Delta Group Businesses:-

Delta Containers (Manchester) Ltd. 

Delta Containers started trading in the late 1970s and eventually formed as a limited company in 1983 by Mr. William White. During the 80s and early 90s the focus of the business was reconditioning steel drums, however, with the rise in popularity of IBCs and plastic packaging, the business' focus shifted. Nowadays, Delta Containers (Manchester) is the largest reconditioner of composited IBCs in the UK, supplying the market in excess of 50,000 reconditioned IBCs every year. William White retired from the business in 2011, handing the day-to-day management of the company to his son, Adam White.

Directors: Managing Director - Adam White; Operations Director - Anthony McParland

Universal Pallet Services Ltd.

Universal Pallets was the first business started by William White in the mid 1970s. Dealing in the supply and repair of industrial timber pallets, Universal Pallets is now managed by William's daughter Rachel Hardcastle (formerly Rachel White), and her husband Thomas Hardcastle. Having started trading in reconditioned pallets serveral customers requested used steel drums, hence the first seed of the industrial packaging division was sowed.
