I started to attempt the base last weekend but as you can see after 2 hours 7 buckets of cement later that's all I got done . It's to hold a 1000l IBC so I was thinking of hiring a mixer for weekend or getting a cement mixing tray, would a cement mixing tray be quicker than a flexible plastic tub? Also should I carry putting cement on or take it out start from scratch and cement all in one go?

Are you trying to make a concrete base the height of the shuttering? What materials are you using? There should be stone/ballast in the mix. You can mix up small quantities of concrete in a wheelbarrow quite easily.
But you don't really need a concrete base for an IBC. Hardcore and concrete blocks/slabs to bring up the height for the tap would do
