Bootle Containers

When is a container not a container? 

When Bootle Containers are involved.

The well established organisation, which has been operating for 30 years design, build and refurbish containers for clients across the world – who all have different needs and requirements.

The units have been produced for a variety of purposes – from fire training facilities and work shop venues right through to kitchens and mobile laboratories.

Many of the services they provide are aimed at the oil and gas and military sectors.  There is clearly a lot of demand from the latter sector at the moment, and the team are currently working on making containers that will act as blood banks to be shipped out to Afghanistan later this year. 

Managing Director, Mike Moran, believes the success of the company is down to the fact that they are a one stop shop for their client’s needs and thrive on any challenge that’s presented to them.  He said: “I don’t believe any business is unique, but we do well as we’re a trusted brand and people can rely on us for quality.”

Bootle Containers works in four key areas:
Defence Systems – Clients include the Ministry of Defence and bespoke units are produced for things such as weapons storage and repair facilities.
Off Shore Systems – This includes providing rigging units and work cabins for oil rigs.
Civil Defence Systems – Work in this area includes manufacturing a range of realistic training scenarios for fire fighters.
Environmental Systems – Units are developed to cope with a range of issues such as waste management and oil spills.

Earlier this month, the organisation was awarded a £20,000 grant from Stepclever which is going to be invested in refurbishing the factory and increasing the staff number from 38 to 47 people.

Mike added: “We’re delighted with the support that we have received from Stepclever not just in financial terms but also in them providing us with access to their network of suppliers and potential partners. 

“Our dealings with Stepclever have been positive from the start and it has been refreshing to deal with an organisation who understand our business needs and deliver the support where and when it is needed.”
