Our Journey

At the time, we were running a trucking and handling company where we would store and move shipping containers around Western Canada. After years of people stopping in our yard asking if we sold shipping containers, we realized we were missing a huge market.

• The first year we sold over 300 shipping containers and coined the name “The Container Guy.” Since then, we have established ourselves as the go-to container guys in Saskatchewan and opened more locations throughout Western Canada.

• Then, in 2011, Channing McCorriston won a deal on Dragon’s Den for starting a shipping container modification company. He eventually sold his shares and returned to The Container Guy where he brought his knowledge of shipping container modifications into the business

Channing has 10 years of experience modifying shipping containers into offices, mining camps, hazardous materials storage units, & more. Although Channing is an accountant by trade, he has a mind for technical design & a great understanding of metal fabrication, electrical, plumbing, & HVAC code requirements.

His CMA degree & professional development courses allow him to lead the design & marketing team from concept to finished product.
