Our storage units are available for businesses to store from as little as one month. There are no complicated long-term leases to sign or inflated retail rates to pay. The storage price is all inclusive of 24/7 access, free WIFI, maintenance and security costs.

Space to work

Online businesses may not need a physical store but do still require some space for all those admin tasks such as printing labels and processing customer orders. Many businesses work directly from our storage rooms where you can hook up the internet, a phone line, a laptop and printer and even put in a desk. Everything you need in one place. 

Keeping your stock safe

Our buildings our modern and purpose built. Every storage room is individually alarmed, and every customer has their own PIN code access to the storage areas and their rooms. 24 hr CCTV, smoke and fire detectors, staff on site seven days a week during trading hours and perimeter fencing add additional layers of security to your business storage.
