turner butler are delighted to be appointed as sole selling agents for this exciting business opportunity which has never been brought to the market for sale before.

operating in the increasingly popular industry sector of self storage, this company began trading in 2005 and has been skilfully managed and grown ever since. Although this relatively new sectors popularity has been apparent to all, the country has been trading through challenging times in recent years and it is the inbuilt flexibility of operation stemming from its owners that has been the benchmark of their success story.

the business is located in an unchallenged situation with no close competitors and has an immediate welcoming impact of cleanliness and organisation to its visitors. The overall site is spread over circa one acre and houses a total of 131 containers of varying sizes, with the majority being nicely placed for good access at ground level. These containers are in extremely good condition and are presented in a smart, fresh and clean manner, with most be classed as “furniture grade” and possessing wooden internal floors.

the business also owns and utilises a portakabin type office for the daily site management function, and has attractive weekly rental rates which start from £16.50 per week up to £27.50 per week

with occupancy rates between 80 – 90%, the trading platform for the new owner is well established and is complemented by the delivery and removals side of the business, which was created as a natural conduit for the company’s core business, and operates using two large high roof vans (one owned) and two part time drivers (plus some casual help - as necessary). This side of the business has developed a regular client base for deliveries along with regular general removal work, light haulage, student moves and house clearance jobs.

it should also be noted that by operating from two adjacent sites and having a split inventory of owned and rented containers, the business is well positioned to scale down its operation should the market demand it do so. However, although this forward thought planning has been used, it has been unnecessary to do so to date.

so, in summation, an easily operated business, operating in a clearly evident growing sector, having been grown utilising a business model which demands cleanliness, organisation and correct value for money, whilst growing a tandem removals and light haulage business which both provides another revenue stream and a natural conduit to the business’ daily operations. We therefore feel that this business will attract strong interest from both the commercial and private sectors and would recommend early inspection.
