More and more UK businesses are seeing the benefit of self storage, attracted by the flexible terms and cheap rates in cash-strapped times. In the UK, as in the US, domestic users occupy the bulk of storage space but the balance is shifting.
The self storage concept was imported from the US to the UK in the early nineties and the industry has been booming ever since. Almost 35 per cent of storage space in the UK is taken by businesses, an increase of ten per cent in one year alone, according to the UK’s Self Storage Association. This trend is set to continue.
A business can take out a room in a self storage unit the size of a small child’s bedroom for as little as £65 per month. Some UK self storage operators now offer ‘office’ space with the added luxury of a window and power points.
With 24-hour access and security these spaces are a snip compared with traditional warehouse or trade space. Tenants are prepared to forego the certainty of tenure of lease on a traditional business space in return for flexibility when their space requirements change.
But self storage does not just attract businesses that wish to control costs. Online and mail order businesses are big users of self storage. One online electrical equipment supplier works from a small home office and regularly visits his storage unit to package and parcel his orders.
