Akhurst Containers traces its roots back to the security and building project management supervision sector. Established in the late 90s, our early projects in Birmingham and London laid the foundation for our journey across Europe. Initially focused on providing services and solutions to ports and recycling centres, we soon recognised the growing demand for portable office and storage containers.
