Self storage firm eyes new locations
A STOCKPORT family business, which is celebrating ten years of trading, has ambitious plan for growth as it invests £2m in rolling out new locations.
Easy Access Self Storage, which first set up in Stockport in 2006 and now also operates a site in Manchester, plans to invest £2m in opening a further three North West sites by 2018.
Easy Access Self Storage’s original Heaton Moor business moved to a new home in Bredbury last May. Situated on the site of the former Junction 25 recycling plant, just off the M60, it offers a number of warehouse/workspace and trade counter units, offices to let, space for vehicle storage and drive-up storage units over four acres. It is.
The flagship 1.35 acre Trafford facility, opposite the Trafford Centre, opened in 2014. It has fully alarmed, drive-up style self storage units.
The company, which employs six staff, was set up by Bernard Bailey, managing director and co-owner with his wife Sue, whilst eldest son Aaron, 19, handles customer service and marketing operations.
Bernard said: “Our tenth anniversary marks a pivotal period for Easy Access Self Storage and it’s a time when we are absolutely focused on becoming the independent name for quality and customer friendly self storage in the North West.
“From Wigan down to Macclesfield, by 2018 we plan to be providing over 250,000 sq ft of self storage space”.
The couple opened the original Easy Access Self Storage facility on the 1.5 acre site of their former civil engineering company. The land was sold to Bellway Homes for an undisclosed sum in 2015 and now forms part of the Heaton Manor development.
