Our Latest Container Conversions

As the UK’s leading experts in container conversions, it’s no surprise that every single day, we receive enquiries from all over the country requested containers for many different purposes. Of course, amongst those customers who have a clear idea of what they want, there are those who aren’t quite sure. A lot of customers contact us requesting a standard new or used shipping container with a specific use in mind. However, with simple conversion options, these standard containers can be made much more fit for purpose with the addition of basic fixtures and fittings. The possibilities are endless. Have a look below at some of our most recent container conversions and see if you get inspired!
