The Bournemouth and Basingstoke Store & Secure facilities have recently gained the British Quality Standard BS EN 15696:2008. The company believes that it is the first solely self-storage company to achieve the accreditation.

Lucy Maidman from Store & Secure said: “It took a shed-load of work over three months, but has been well worth it. We’ve come out with sharper processes, documents and manuals. More importantly our customers can have rock-solid confidence and trust in the way we operate. We’re chuffed to bits!”

The company reports that the quality auditor – in her recommendations for each facility’s approval – commented: “The business is extremely well run and I have no hesitation in recommending certification.”
