We all know that Business Crimes exist, but do you know how many businesses are actually affected every year? Well, this infographic offers an insight into how many business crimes occurred during 2014. Infographic taken from the Home Office website. This shows that wholesale, retail, accommodation, food outlets, agriculture, forestry and fishing businesses need secure storage containers, just like the ones we sell and hire. The more your stock and belongings are locked up, the more likely you will not become part of these statistics. Business crimes can be reduced, by taking the correct measurements in order to deter…

Absorpoles
Absorpoles for UK delivery ONLY In some circumstances, shipping containers can suffer from condensation. Shipping containers are particularly prone to condensation when situated in the open, where they might be subjected to the warmth of the sunshine during the day, and the cold of the elements during the night. Most condensation forms near the interior ceiling of shipping containers and can cause damage to whatever is being stored inside the container. Absorpoles are the answer to the problem of excess moisture in shipping containers. They absorb moisture and turn it into a harmless saline solution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCOu4ifRU1M Absorpole Installation Instructions…

Business crime is particularly rife, as often businesses are left unattended during the evenings and weekends, making the business more vulnerable. Billie Box has a solution…. We offer…

Also known as the #HospiceTeam100 Gillian Boyle (Artist and Jane’s sister-in-law) and Jane have agreed to cycle 300 miles in just 4 days for the…
Buying new shipping containers – top tips
Where are shipping containers built? The vast majority – around 95% – of new shipping containers are built in China. Like with many industrial and commercial products, China offers cost-effective labour rates. The raw materials used in the construction of sea containers are often much lower in China than in any other country. Containers are produced in other countries, but if you see a shipping container on the back of a lorry, on a ship or being used as storage it will almost definitely have been built in China. As with many modern products the sheer number of containers…
