Whether you're just starting out, or looking to take the next steps with your business premises, having the flexibility to adapt your space according to your needs can be invaluable to SMEs.
Local businesses can find that and more at Gloucester's SureStore, a state-of-the-art self storage facility in the city centre, offering versatile units for everything from storing stock and equipment, to conducting your daily operations.
And with units available from as little as £10 per week and offers including 50 per cent off your first eight weeks, it could provide the perfect option for a variety of businesses – from the up-and-coming, to established firms or those in transition – that are looking to keep costs down.
Located inside the former cinema at The Peel Centre, over the road from Gloucester Quays, both commercial and domestic customers can rent secure and affordable spaces for a range of uses, with unit sizes from 10 sq ft to over 250 sq ft available.
For entrepreneurs and small businesses, its flexible service provides the freedom to scale up operations as the business grows; and allows start-ups to keep their overheads low during their 'critical' early stages.
Its units can be used to store anything from business stock inventory to excess products, tools and equipment, or even spare office furniture.
Free wifi and secure remote access means you can even run a small business, such as an e-commerce store, from your self storage unit.
Its flexible agreements include maintenance and support for your unit, with other benefits including 24/7, smart keyless access, a dedicated app for customers and even an onsite box shop for packaging.
SureStore opened its first facility in Bolton in 2018 under the management of parent company Flexiss and has since expanded to multiple locations across the UK.
Opened in January 2024, the company has transformed its previously derelict building in Gloucester – which had been a cinema from 1990 until 2013 – with sustainability underpinning its redevelopment, through renewable energy solutions such as photovoltaic solar panels, EV charging stations and energy-efficient LED lighting systems.
