Special Project

Port Shipping Containers was contracted by TFH Hire Services to build two 10ft Container Bars for their corporate partner the Manly Sea Eagles. TFH Hire Services have become synonymous with the Australian temporary fencing and hire industry. They service construction and event projects of any size with their quality stock and extensive industry knowledge Australia wide. As the largest family owned and operated suppler of temporary fencing and associated products, they have more than 20 years industry experience and a distribution network of over 30 branches nationally.

The sports ground had an existing bar for servicing everyone on the hill for home games throughout the year. During their pre-season walk-around with their catering company, it was made clear that the old bar was definitely not suitable for another season. The Manly Sea Eagles were left in a bit of an urgent situation where they needed needed to get the old bar out and a new solution in ASAP before the season kicked off.

“We were lucky enough to have an amazing corporate partner in TFH, who came and checked out the situation in person and immediately jumped onto finding us a suitable solution, which resulted in the excellent new bright yellow TFH Hill Bar we have today!” states Luke Tucker who is Corporate General Manager of the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.

We spoke with Ashleigh Martinovic, who is the Marketing Manager for TFH Hire Services about thier relationship with the Manly Sea Eagles and their involvment in the project.

“The TFH family ensure that we go over and above for our clients and partners, hence why we decided to search for a solution that would mutually benefit both parties. These containers gave Manly a new productive and easy way of keeping their footy goers happy with a fresh beer and easy to access bar. Nothing worse than waiting in a huge line for a beverage! With this, TFH received naming rights to the bar by keeping it our brand colour with a large TFH Hill Bar sign and flags located in fantastic camera view for all home games.”

TFH Hire Services decided to use shipping containers for the Manly Sea Eagles TFH Hill Bar structure as they are not only sturdy and heavy duty, but they are also easy to relocate if there are any changes to the venue. They were also quick to install in comparison to building a permanent structure.

We asked Ashleigh why TFH Hire Services chose us to build the container bars for their partner “We originally called another partner of ours who could not get the project completed in time.” states Ashleigh. “I then contacted Port Shipping Containers in hope they could do it, they were more than happy to take on the challenge. I have recommended them to all that have asked where we can get more from.”

Luke from the Manly Sea Eagles also replies “Everything happened in absolutely record time thanks to TFH and Port Shipping Containers, who made what was originally a stressful situation an absolute breeze including taking away the old bar for us when the brand new customised storage container solution was delivered on site. There’s now plenty of happy fans enjoying quicker and more streamlined bar service up on the eastern hill all thanks to TFH and the solution through Port Shipping Containers.”
