45 gallon drums
One of mine. New and reconditioned drums shipped nationwide — and the business behind Branded Barrels for some of the world's biggest drinks brands.

Beyond the standard drum

This one is ours.
45GallonDrums is elevo founder Nathan Pearson's own business — so there is no client to keep happy. The standards are higher than that: it has to work, sell and look the part, because it is the agency eating its own cooking.
And it is not one site any more — it is a family. Branded Barrels has put branded barrels in the hands of high-profile brands like BULLDOG, Tiny Rebel, Jamie Oliver, Red Bull and Warner Brothers. The 45 BBQ has grown to 18,000 Instagram followers on the back of successful collaborations. Drums are where the craft and the commerce meet.

Before. After.
Before
Industrial storage, sold by phone and trade counter
A product businesses and DIY enthusiasts need, bought the hard way — enquiries, phone calls and guesswork about condition, colour and cost.
After
A nationwide shop with nothing to hide
New or reconditioned, four colours, honest spec and 10,000+ drums supplied UK-wide — a business that sells itself on the record it can show.
What I built
01
An unglamorous product, taken seriously
New and reconditioned 45 gallon drums do not photograph like trainers. The brand treats industrial storage with the same care a lifestyle brand would get — because it is still somebody's business.
02
A shop that sells nationwide
New or reconditioned, four colours, industrial-grade durability, fast UK-wide delivery — everything a buyer needs to decide, without a phone call first.
03
Trust you can check
The numbers sit right on the site: 10,000+ drums supplied across the UK and 98% satisfied customers. No vague claims, just the record.
04
Marketing that runs in the family
This is elevo founder Nathan Pearson's own business, alongside Branded Barrels and the 45 BBQ — the same instinct that grew the 45 BBQ's Instagram to 18,000 followers through successful collaborations like Tiny Rebel.
05
A family of sites, not just one
45gallondrums.com does not sit alone. Branded Barrels handles the high-end brand collaborations, while 45 BBQs turns the product into content for 18,000 Instagram followers. Each site does one job and does it properly.
The finished experience
An unglamorous business, done properly.
Every claim on this site has to survive the founder's own scrutiny. It does — which is exactly the standard elevo holds every client's work to. And the family keeps growing: the drums shop, Branded Barrels and the 45 BBQ, each doing one job well.
