With installation now underway this week for our latest project with RSPB, we wanted to take a moment to recognise part of the team behind the build.
A lot happens before a unit leaves our site, and every stage depends on the skill, care and effort of the people involved. This photo captures only part of that team, but it reflects the work behind the scenes.
Well done to everyone who helped get the project to this stage.
We will share more once the installation is complete.

We are pleased to share that Eldapoint Group has been featured in the latest issue of Supply Chain World.
The article explores how our group has grown by bringing together specialist manufacturing businesses to support infrastructure and operational sectors across the UK. It highlights the role of UK manufacturing in delivering modular and portable buildings, GRP structures, steel fabrication, container conversions, stillages, and waste handling products to industries including construction, utilities, waste and recycling, transport, energy, ports, defence, and education.
As supply chains become more complex, many organisations are looking to work with partners who can deliver multiple engineering capabilities through one coordinated group.
Do you have experience in fabrication welding, ISO container repairs, and operating a forklift? We’re looking for a skilled, hands-on individual to join our Felixstowe depot team, delivering high-quality repair and refurbishment work within our container division.
If you take pride in your workmanship and thrive in a busy depot environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Giving back to our local community is something we genuinely care about.
We were delighted to support Activate CES by donating toys for their Christmas fair, helping to bring some extra joy to young adults and families in the local area.
Activate CES does fantastic work supporting young adults with disabilities through education, inclusion and community engagement, and we are proud to support an organisation making such a positive impact.
Wishing everyone at Activate CES a very happy festive season.

As we reflect on the year, we wanted to take a moment to recognise an achievement we are incredibly proud of.
Earlier this year, Andy Batty represented the Eldapoint Group at the Environmental Services & Solutions Expo, where he was named as part of the Environment 100, a programme celebrating leaders and innovators in environmental sustainability.
Andy’s recognition is a testament to his leadership and ongoing commitment to driving positive environmental outcomes across the Group.
A fantastic achievement and one worth celebrating.

We were pleased to welcome the RSPB to our HQ last week as they came to view their new containers ahead of an exciting project at their Freiston site.
The units will soon be customised to support their work, and we’re proud to be playing a small part in a big mission.
More to come as the project progresses 👀

We are pleased to welcome Gary Philpott to the Eldapoint Group as our new Group Frameworks and Contracts Manager.
Gary joins the Group at an important stage in our journey. He was attracted to the business by role, and by the vision of the leadership team, the direction of the business, and the opportunity to play a meaningful part in delivering our strategic objectives. Moving from a service led environment into manufacturing represents both a challenge and an opportunity, but one he was keen to embrace.
He brings extensive commercial experience across general management, global sales and account management, and bid management where he worked most recently as Director of Bid Management. Supported by formal management qualifications, Gary’s background equips him well to add value from the outset and support the Group’s continued growth. He is looking forward to getting to know the Group’s products and services and working closely with colleagues across the business as he begins his Eldapoint journey.
Outside of work, he describes himself as naturally energetic, with interests including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, music, first edition book collecting, and travelling to historic cities, ideally where the weather is much warmer.
Welcome to the team, Gary.

⏰ FOMO (fear of missing out) sells - perceived scarcity can boost the appeal of pop-up shops and events.
Our container conversion retail units marry this temporary buzz with long-lasting build quality. Strong, adaptable, and customisable, they’re designed to create retail and hospitality spaces that stand out. This means your container conversion can evolve into a permanent facility, or be relocated to suit new markets, seasonal demand, or fresh opportunities https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0n4nx10
🚀 Pop-up or permanent, the Eldapoint Group makes it possible.

First introduced over 30 years ago, the REB (Relocatable Equipment Building) has become a familiar sight trackside. However, ‘Relocatable’ is a bit of a misnomer, once installed, they usually stay put. In reality, they’re fully constructed in our factory, then transported and installed on site as complete, ready-to-go units.
Our Network Rail approved REBs are designed to house the critical infrastructure that keeps Britain’s railways moving. From signalling and telecoms to power equipment, they provide a safe, secure, and weather-resistant environment that meets the highest standards for durability and compliance https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0n30fq0

It’s a mazing what you can do with the humble shipping container. From bespoke grand design houses to cafes and restaurants. The possibilities are endless.
The expense of ‘bricks and mortar’ retail space has seen many retailers turn to the adaptable, affordable solutions provided by SHIPPING CONTAINER CONVERSIONS. We are continually seeing pop up businesses emerging throughout the UK and becoming a more familiar sight. These businesses range from shops to bars, cafes, restaurants and product show-rooms.
The flexibility of the space offered by converted containers, inside and out, allows for almost any idea to be turned into a place to welcome customers.
Pop-up retail has taken the UK by storm over the last few years and converted shipping containers are playing a critical role in its success. Now a staple in many of the UK’s busiest retail spaces and used by start-ups, to the world’s major global brands. A recent report ‘BRITAIN’S POP-UP RETAIL ECONOMY’ by The Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) and EE, the UK’s largest digital communications company - estimated that the UKs pop-up industry is worth £2.3 billion.
