Company mission
To make having a container bought and delivered as easy as it is to book a hotel online.
Our take
Boxhub was founded with a relatively simple-sounding purpose - to make it easier for people to find and purchase shipping containers. Through the platform, users can easily source the right container for their use (be that storage, housing, shipping, or moving house), and purchase it online to be delivered where they need it.
The market for shipping containers is on the rise for a number of reasons; such as the increase in trade agreements facilitating more shipping, and an appetite for using them to build lower-cost customized homes. Boxhub has hence established itself at a great time, with a wealth of demand for access to shipping containers that is only predicted to rise.
Investors have seen this potential in Boxhub, and it has raised an impressive amount of funding. These funds will enable the company to pursue international expansion and further product development, as it moves to make buying shipping containers as simple as any other online purchase.
