Okay, so I'm trying a bunch of ground coffee at the moment and as it has to be stored in a sealed container I was wondering what everyone uses. I've been using sealed Tupperware boxes. However they are fairly bulky and a bit of a nightmare in general.

Ohhh, that's a good idea. May have to go out and buy some instant coffee.

Please don't take up chilling it.
That said, if you're keeping ground coffee rather than beans it's going to lose a lot of freshness very quickly so how you store it matters somewhat less.

I use a Kilner jar and keep it in the fridge, despite this forum's hate for chilling it. Don't care what they say, it definitely keeps fresher when cold
+1. Been doing this for years and I can definitely tell the difference between stored in the jar out of fridge vs in the fridge.
i just use a £1-2 Ikea air tight jar (the kind with the metal spring clip):

an lob it on the worktop along with the tea and sugar pots.

You will hate me then. I have been storing mine in the freezer, I just don't get through it quickly enough. As stated it's much better than when I stored it in a sealed jar.
