Shell – Hardwall

Flexi – Softwall

Hybrid – Dual Genus

Isopods are available on castors (wheels) for ease of transit and are ideal for segregating part of your process. Equally, if you're a start-up, smaller business or just require something small yet robust and high-performance, Isopod is the solution.

Support James' charity climb

Guardtech Group Design Engineer James Pottinger is taking part in a charity climb next month to raise money for an amazing cause. Here's what James had to say:

"In May, my wife and I will be climbing Snowdon to raise money for a charity that is close to our hearts and has helped us through a difficult time.

"Sadly, over the last two years we have experienced the loss of two babies during pregnancy. Simba charity has helped us feel supported and move towards coming to terms with our losses. The memory boxes we received have allowed us to remember our babies and treasure the moments we were able to spend with them.

"In completing our challenge, we hope to raise some money to help others going through baby loss to feel a little comfort during a hard time."

Best of luck with the climb, James – you've shown so much strength and the whole Guardtech family is behind you in raising funds for such an incredible cause.
