The Wonderful World of Storage

I first discussed the idea of setting up a storage business with my good friend Russell nearly 2 years ago. We had both run businesses before and we saw a strong growth in demand for storage, particularly in the Northampton area, where Russ is from.

Our first exposure to the storage industry was when we went to the trade association's annual conference in Telford. We were surprised how open and helpful everyone was. We learnt a lot in those few days and then went on a trek around the country, visiting other storage companies to see how they operated, what levels of security they had and learn the pitfalls.

We then set about trying to find a suitable site that had good access, we could make very secure and was in a prime area. This was harder than we thought but we eventually found a site on the Brackmills Industrial Estate in Caswell Road, NN4. Finally, everything is in place and we launch.

We're really excited about the site, it is on one of the main roads of the estate, so it is easily accessible; the security is all in place, monitored CCTV, automatic pin-pad operated gates, fully fenced, and we have our first delivery of shiny new containers ready for use. We've taken on a great software system that makes booking really easy, but we're also on hand if you want to talk to us on the phone or in person.
