Work underway on £1m Harrogate self-storage site

Building work has started on a £1m self-storage facility in Harrogate.

McCarthy’s Storage World on Ripon Road is adding an additional self-storage centre behind the existing one, which opened in 2012.

Offering storage facilities for both individuals and businesses, the new building will offer an initial 9,000 sq ft of storage space, a growth of 50%. It is hoped the facility will be completed and ready to open in May, with three jobs created.

Mike McCarthy, managing director of McCarthy’s Removals and Storage, said: “We are delighted that work is now underway on our new storage facility in Harrogate, which will sit behind the existing premises. The current space has been operating at almost 100% capacity for some time now.

“We’ve seen great demand from individuals, looking to clear space at home or seeking temporary storage while they move home, but we’ve also seen a dramatic increase in business customers. Self-storage can be particularly useful for SMEs, providing very flexible workspace at affordable prices. If you have varying levels of stock, are an online business or are hesitant to commit to larger commercial premises, it can be the ideal solution. It’s also useful for businesses which need off-site space for archive storage.”

McCarthy’s is a family business and also has storage facilities in Leeds and Wakefield.
