Jobs created as Inner Space launches self storage facility
York-based Inner Space Stations has launched a self storage facility at Layerthorpe, creating five jobs.
Inner Space Stations Self-Storage opened in August with a £1.3m investment in the facility by founder Graham Kennedy.
The building, which used to be the site of National Windscreens, has three floors with over 200 internal storage units ranging from 10 to 200 sq ft.
On the top floor is a 4,000 sq ft open space for large storage or available to hire for exhibitions or events.
The Inner Space Stations business was founded by Kennedy 30 years ago,with a garage on Hull Road.
He said: “Having dipped our toe into the ‘storage’ market a few years ago with external storage containers, we feel we have identified a gap in the market. Making self-storage accessible 24 hours a day gives people the flexibility to access it at any time to suit them, especially as we’re in a great location just five minutes’ walk from York city centre. The facility has already proven popular with students and local market traders over the holidays. We strongly believe internet sellers would benefit from the flexibility we offer, as well as local businesses, house movers and anyone that simply has too much stuff and nowhere to put it.”
