Prime Ministerial Container Hire In Cornwall

A big shout out this week to our Cornish friends, colleagues and customers, who have been under a spell of media attention following the birth of UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s child in Cornwall. Mr Cameron was on his customary summer break – patriotically patronising UK tourism – when his wife Samantha gave birth to their new child.

David Cameron becomes only the second Prime Minister in 150 years to have a child while in office – after Tony Blair broke the duck earlier in the decade.

So well wishes to Dave and Sam, and to the rest of Cornwall and our clients of container hire in Cornwall.

Container hire in Suffolk that’s as safe as houses…

Admittedly a bit of a boor, certainly not the biggest fan of all this modern art and highbrow architecture, there’s a recent trend in “modern” home design that really gets my goat! The exploitation of the noble shipping container for the purposes of what some people would call “innovative” home design. I say exploitation – “mutilation” would probably be a more fitting word.

Just look at this.

Now I’m as big a fan of Sweden as anybody else – meatballs, Abba, Ikea – all that stuff is great. But this Swedish attack on the conventional really has gone a step too far with this latest foray into the world of shipping containers. Thanks to a customer after container hire in Suffolk for this image by the way. Certainly, unlike perhaps Stockholm, you are unlikely to encounter this kind of housing development in Ipswich!

Types of container hire we don’t do (although I wish we did)

I don’t think you’ll find a more flexible container hire company than TopContainerHire.co.uk. Yes I’m biased, but I really don’t.

We’ll do everything physically possible to meet your container hire needs, as one of our regular container hire for West Lothian customers was just telling me this morning. (Before he asked for a big discount – ha!).

But for all our flexibility, there are some container hire options that I have to admit we’re not shifting a lot of a the moment. Check this eco-container out – doesn’t come as standard!

But it pains me to say that we don’t offer something our customers need. So anybody after one of these give me a shout!

The best use for container hire in Devon

There’s a game we play in the container hire office called “If you could”. You may or may not have heard of it. Here’s how it goes. One person (usually Julie in the corner – anything to avoid her spreadsheets) asks:

“If you could fill a container with anything in the world, what would it be?”

Then everybody in the office spends the next 5 minutes coming up with the things they would most love to find a container full of. You might think the game gets tired quite quickly, but you’d be surprised.

Anyway, this morning as I was waking up, a vision of the perfect answer to If You Could came to me in a vision. It would probably be something for container hire in Devon – a container full to the brim of Ambrosia custard!

I’m not sure if I’d swim in it, eat it, or order a massive sticky toffee pudding. But that truly would be my #1 way to fill a container.

Storage container hire – it’s like art…

Doing a bit of web surfing this morning while the boss wasn’t looking… (Just kidding boss!).

They say you don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps – and unlike the average person, when I’m browsing the web I tend to find myself gravitating towards pictures of… storage containers!

I don’t really know why it is. I mean, obviously I do – I love containers, you have to if you’re going to work with them all day – but to even spend my spare time staring at container pictures even I sometimes wonder if that’s normal.

Anyway, not sure if there’s much I can do about it. So here’s a nice storage container hire pic that I came across and thought I would post. What I loved about this one was the cleanness of the shot. The container here is so industrial – pure silver and in the simplest box like shape. I’ve seen less impressive things in the Tate Modern.

Shipping container hire with TopContainerHire.co.uk

The classic shipping container is one of the most ubiquitous symbols of modern industry that you’re likely to see.

Stacks of shipping containers

To those of us in the container game, sights like these are rather stirring – modern global trade stands on the shoulders of the shipping container.

The most commonly seen form of the shipping container is probably the corrugated one pictured above. But there are different kinds of shipping containers. The intermodal freight container, corrugated box, crate, wooden box and intermediate bulk shipping container, just for starters.

But instead of me listing them all here… If you’re interested in shipping containers, why not give us a call now? We’re on 08000 82 80 84 – and it’s free from UK landlines.

Containers and tractors – container hire in Norfolk

My gran has lived in Norfolk almost all of her life – I’ve got loads of family out there, so I know a bit about Norfolk.

Now, there are some unfair stereotypes about Norfolk – some of them printable, some of them not. One of them that I find particularly amusing is that everybody in Norfolk drives around on tractors. Unfair!

Lucky kid...

Lucky kid...

However, there are members of the Norfolk community who from time to time contribute to this myth that all Norfolkians are tractor drivers. We took a call yesterday from a nice elderly gentleman, concerned to know whether for his Norfolk container hire order he would be able to hook his shipping container onto the back of his tractor to move around a load of hay. Doesn’t help in the war against stereotypes…

A nice solution for shop storage – containers

Shop storage is one of those problems that shop owners can face on a recurring basis. This is particularly true for businesses that need to maintain variable stock levels, allowing them to prepare for peaks and troughs of seasonal trading.

Although, sadly, shop space doesn’t grow and shrink in line with your inventory needs, getting hold of a shop storage container can be a good solution for handling goods overflow on a temporary basis. The container hire solution does mean that you’ll need adequate space close to your main premises in order to house the container, or at least good transportation that will allow you to house your goods in the container off-site, bringing them into the shop as needed.

For secure shop storage solutions, looking seriously at container hire might be the right option for you. Call us now on 08000 82 80 84. It’s free from landlines!

Container hire Liverpool customer nervous about Thursday’s big game

I mean, normally you wouldn’t think of Liverpool versus Rabotnicki as a big game. That’s true. The Republic of Macedonia side are minnows even in their own country – not the sort of stuff to make the world-beating Anfield boys nervous. But this Thursday’s game in Macedonia’s capital Skopje might just mark the first potential little roadbump for new Reds manager Roy Hodgson.

So what’s this got to do with container hire then? Well, in fairness, not a lot. But we do like to keep our container hiring community abreast of what’s going on elsewhere in the container hire world. Up in Merseyside, as a jocular customer after container hire Liverpool mentioned on the phone this morning, there are a few football fans whose minds may be on more than just container hire come Thursday morning…
