You Saved Our Christmas!

As bicycle retailers, we have a very big, big, big need for loads of extra storage in the run up to Christmas and the Christmas time period itself, as our inventory is then larger than usual. Thank goodness for the Cradley Heath self storage facility that you operate, I can now order as many or as few bicycles as I need. I have recently purchased an importers residual stock in a full 20ft container, as I now have loads of space in renting your unit. I am so pleased that the full container of bicycles I purchased, was able to be delivered, at the Container base, and straight into my rented container. The container loaded straight onto the doors of the unit and we transferred the entire stock in less than one hour, the profit I will make on this consignment would enable me to rent the container from you for 5 years or more, so without the container, I could not have made all this profit.

Ground level loading is also fantastic and access in the base, for the large delivery truck and container was excellent, Thanks a bundle.

My company has used the storage facilities in Providence street since 1997 when we started off with one 40ft container to store materials. As a major upholstery manufacturer in the region, we were hit by rising costs for our factory , rising rates, rising costs for our labour force, electric and all the utilities in general were increasing, and escalating complicated Government legislation, Health and Safety legislation, Employment legislation, caused my company to go from being extremely profitable, with substantial financial reserves to going into serious losses and all our reserves evaporated. . I have written this article to show my appreciation of the excellent quality advice and direction that I was given from the Self Storage Midlands owners, that helped save our company when in crisis, and helped give our company the future that we enjoy today.

I thank you so much, I have been pushed from pillar to post, with self storage outfits, following moving out of my home and business , to my small mobile home in Bewdley.

I used three different outfits, a container storage, and two indoor self storage. I had access problems with all three, access by way of getting in and out with my goods, and with the indoor storage access pushing barrows and trolleys, waiting while others unloaded their goods, on one occasion I could not unload my hired van, for an entire day, because of customer congestion. Then I found your store in Providence street, fantastic , over the last three months I have moved all my goods from the three storage companies into the 40ft container I rent off you. I have also sent you three more renters that were dissatisfied from Qxxxxxxxxxxx. I have now only one monthly bill instead of three, and I pay less to rent this vast storage space from you, by about 50%, so I am also saving almost half the cost. Can I also thank you for permission to leave my car and trailer in the base overnight last week when I had a breakdown, I am in the AA, but I had to get home very urgently that night , but returned next day with the AA. Thanks again.

Your advise was spot on, my inside self storage unit with XXXXX cost more than the 20ft container I have rented, from you and I have three times the space, and what a relief to be able to come and go as I please, and drive right onto my unit as you advised me that I could. What is amazing is the junk accumulated by us, and I am also storing some bits for my brother in law, but when I am down in your yard with my brother in law, it gives us an excuse to have a few pints next door in the Swan, good brew there, recommended by us. I have enclosed the security details for my brother in law as requested by your security department, so that he can visit without me.

This might be an idea for others, when we moved home last year, my husband ordered a skip, for what he thought was rubbish, or not needed in our new home, and I cancelled it the next day, because we had rented a 20ft container from you, prior to our move, and we had loads of spare space available, so I thought I would ferry the so called junk over to Cradley Heath and sell it at boot fairs and e-bay. I did countless trips in my old banger and t really is surprising what you keep over the years. My first saving was £150 for the skip, we had several really hot weekends and I did boot fairs, after expenses I had accumulated £350. I did no more boot sales for months as the weather did not suit me, I did another series of Boot sales working the junk stock down that I had stored in the container, I tried to get rid of the bulky first. I had accumulated another £600. The next few weeks I met a trader in Brownhills Market, he worked with his wife selling house clearances and junk really, worse quality than my husband wanted to skip, and came from Dudley and was desperate for storage, cheap storage really. I asked if he would be interested in sharing my container, but he said that a 20ft was to small, you kindly found me a 40ft container and Jeff and his wife took on the rental from you for that, and they let me move what was left over from our container into their container, rent free. I then returned our empty container back to you. I calculated that renting the 20ft container off you for nine months made me over £2000. So a big thank to you for all your kind support.

Great for my hobby

I collect Morris Minors, I love them to bits, I store my 2 cars and all support spares in my rented container, the cheap safe storage with easy drive in facilities makes my hobby very affordable if not profitable.

Still with you!

I store my Daimler Dart at Cradley Heath, have done so some 3 years, the advantage is my sister lives in Cradley Heath, I live in London, yet I would not dream of storing my car in the City. I can enjoy working on my car and visiting my sister. Most of the shows I attend are up North in any case so Cradley Heath is ideal for me. Big advantage, because the storage is a quarter of the cost in the City, I can have a 360 sq ft unit from you, and when opportunity knocks as it did for me, when I acquired my second scrap Dart, for parts , what I saved makes the rentals I pay in reality free of charge. I enclose this little report as requested of me, by you, as a very happy client and that I would recommend your kind of storage to any enthusiast. Do your homework right and hobbies can be financially rewarding.
