Broadcasting Beyond Boundaries: How One Shipping Container Amplifies a Whole Community

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.
