Our facilities serve over 55,000 customers and are typically used by local businesses and ‘start-ups’ for storage space and security for their stock. Lots of small and medium-sized businesses are attracted by the all-inclusive and flexible terms we offer. These make our storage space an affordable and desirable option compared to traditional warehousing, and allow businesses to scale up or down as needed.

Local residents and families who want the flexibility that extra storage space can provide also use our facilities. Many people use Safestore to make things easier during big life events, such as when moving home or having children.

A typical Safestore generates up to 297 direct and indirect full time equivalent jobs and £6.9m per annum for a local economy. Safestore is a low impact business – our buildings are relatively simple to construct and our sites attract very low levels of traffic. Residents and local businesses typically store possessions over a long period of time, and so the day-to-day impact from vehicles is minimal.
