We were regionally shortlisted as finalists in the LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Building Excellence Awards 2016. Unfortunately we didn’t win, but were very proud to have been nominated in the first place.

We supply shipping containers for general storage and also for bespoke modification project builds, and have worked with a wide variety of organisations from SMEs to blue chip companies. Clients range from national games committees and world champion sports teams, to Ministry of Defence agencies and organisations, the NHS and educational establishments.

We were shortlisted due to our involvement with an innovative and ambitious build for Hereford Skate Park. The brief was to provide a two-tier structure made out of two 40ft shipping containers replicating a retro “Boombox” stereo. This needed to accommodate a shop and recreational area for the skate park users. The client; Wheeled Sports 4 Hereford, had enrolled the services of an architect for the original design. We worked with the architect to provide significant advice and guidance and built a product that met their bespoke requirements.

Laura Hucker
, Manager at Lion Containers Ltd commented “
It is always an honour to be recognised for the hard work that our team put in, but to also be recognised for our creativity and ambition is very special indeed. As a company we are constantly looking outside of the box, we work with many different industries and no day is the same. The Boombox project was extremely ambitious, and it remains one of our favourite builds. We recently visited the site to see how they were settling in, and it was a joy to see the building in action; serving the community
”.
