Expansion to storage facility more than doubles lettable space

Nov 24 | 2017

Smart Storage in Altringham has completed a £3million expansion to its site, doubling the amount of lettable space currently available.

The expanded store was completed in October and provides an additional 25,000ft2 of lettable storage space, trade counters and offices at the branch. The development has expanded the total amount of storage space available to over 45,000ft2,  with new storage space from 10 to 3,500ft2 available.    

Mike Wilson, CEO of Smart Storage, said: “We’re really excited to open the extension to our store in Altrincham, it’s going to provide a much needed boost to the lettable space we have. Our main aim is to provide high-quality, competitively priced self storage services to both domestic and commercial users. Self storage is perfect for local businesses, as space can be a real issue for smaller businesses in the local area.” 

Following the extension, the Altrincham branch of Smart Storage now has 450 units, 20 offices and three trade counters available for both personal and business use.   

“We have seen a huge upturn in demand for self storage over the past 12 months in the UK,” said Mike.  “A lot of our customers have been using our storage facilities for over two years now and there is more emphasis on long-term storage solutions.”
