Widely renowned as an agricultural hub, rural Hereford has undergone extensive regeneration in recent years. The city has become a centre for creativity and innovation, with several businesses now utilising shipping containers as part of their aesthetic and premises.
From microbreweries to village shop expansions, Hereford is making the most of the shipping container revolution. The city is also embracing the use of shipping containers for more community-focused projects such as housing for the homeless and mixed-use community developments.
