20ft Seed Technology Workshop Container Case Study

The client was carrying out an exercise to find out what would be the best option for their health and safety project which would involve a new workshop. We sent over our quotation along with the relevant information that the customer required to make this project work. A couple of months later we contacted our customer to find out if this is still something they were looking into, and they informed us that they were ready to place an order. The specification was confirmed and a sketch was drawn up for the workshop. Works were carried out in our depot in Manchester and the unit was delivered problem free on 31st July.

The specification for the workshop is detailed below:
