About Us

ISOv8® operates as a sub brand and part of ContainerKing® Limited, a UK registered business established through over 30 years of hands-on work in shipping containers, anti-vandal and portable buildings, and specialist fabrication.

ISOv8® is not a new venture or a rebranded offer.

ISOv8® exists to focus specifically on shipping container conversions and steel anti-vandal buildings supply to customers where specification, build quality, and long-term performance matter.

Where We Come From

ContainerKing® has been built from the ground up — supplying, modifying, and delivering container and anti-vandal building solutions across a wide range of industries.

That experience is practical, not theoretical.

It comes from:

• designing and building units that are used daily
• resolving real-world problems
• and understanding how these structures perform over time

ISOv8® applies that experience to projects where detail, specification, and correct decision-making at the outset are critical.

Leadership & Direction

ISOv8® is led by Steve Empson, Managing Director of ContainerKing® Limited.

The business has been shaped through long-term commercial experience, including both successful growth and periods of significant challenge. Years of learning and our background has formed my views on how a proper business should operate and also how the correct decisions should be made — with a focus on structure, clarity, and long-term outcome rather than short-term gain.

What Kind of Business We Are

We are a build-led business.

We are not sales-driven, and we are not structured around volume.

Our focus is on:

• defining requirements properly
• specifying correctly
• and delivering work that performs as intended

Our approach (we appreciate) may not suit every customer or project.

It is designed for clients who value:

• clarity before commitment
• realistic specification
• and outcomes that stand up over time

How We Approach Work

Most problems in this sector originate before fabrication begins.

We focus on:

• understanding the requirement in detail
• identifying constraints early
• and ensuring the proposed solution is appropriate

That often means:

• asking direct questions
• challenging assumptions
• and occasionally advising against a proposed route

The objective is simple — get it right before it is built.
