At W&K Container, Inc., we’ve always believed that a shipping container is more than steel and rivets—it's a blank canvas for innovation, creativity, and connection. A recent story out of Surrey Quays in London beautifully reinforces that belief.

Tucked away in a corner of Southeast London, Surrey Sound Radio—a community-driven station—is broadcasting live from one of the most unexpected places: a refurbished shipping container. What began as a dream to build a platform for local voices has now become a symbol of how adaptable, affordable, and accessible container-based solutions can be.

From music and news to neighborhood events, the container-turned-radio-station brings people together through the power of storytelling—all within a secure, weatherproof, and repurposed steel box.

This isn’t just about broadcasting. It’s about belonging.

For W&K Container, this kind of ingenuity is what drives our work every day. We supply, customize, and repurpose shipping containers for countless industries—government, education, construction, energy, disaster response, and yes, even creative endeavors like this one.

Whether it’s serving as a mobile classroom, a disaster relief hub, or a radio station bringing together a diverse urban community—our containers help people turn big ideas into real impact.

 Because when you give people the right tools—and the right space—extraordinary things happen.

​​At W&K Container, Inc., we are inspired by the resilience and innovation demonstrated by Joshua Clark, founder of Ark Container Homes. After personally experiencing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ida, Clark has turned adversity into action by creating durable, sustainable housing solutions for disaster victims. His work exemplifies the transformative potential of repurposed shipping containers, offering both immediate relief and long-term resilience for those affected by natural disasters.​

Clark's journey underscores the critical need for robust housing in disaster-prone areas. By converting storm- and fire-proof cargo containers into fully insulated homes, Ark Container Homes provides a sense of normalcy and security to families during their most challenging times. These units are thoughtfully designed with essential amenities, including full bathrooms, kitchens, and climate control, ensuring comfort and functionality.​

At W&K Container, Inc., we are proud to support initiatives that harness the strength and versatility of shipping containers to meet pressing humanitarian needs. We believe in the power of innovative solutions to build a more resilient future for communities worldwide.
