Storage giant Lock Stock has started work on its first site in Crewe and given a sneak preview of what the entrance to the new facility will look like as it continues its expansion into Cheshire.<\/p>\n
The new state-of-the-art eco-conscious storage park will occupy a 1.2 acre site in the heart of the town and regenerate the area devastated by a major fire at a disused printworks in August last year.<\/p>\n
North Wales-based Lock Stock Self Storage, the UK\u2019s largest container-based storage company, expects to open the new site at the junction of Catherine and Frances Streets next month.<\/p>\n
It will have capacity of more than 150 storage units and will continue the business\u2019s rapid expansion into Cheshire where it has already opened four sites this year in the north of the county in Winsford, Runcorn and Northwich where there are sites in Lostock and Wincham.<\/p>\n
The new Crewe site will boast solar-powered security lighting and keyless entry with opening hours from 6am to 11pm.<\/p>\n
It will also have a brand new advanced booking system with monitored CCTV and an intercom with a live video link to head office in Denbigh so new customers can sign up and start storing almost immediately.<\/p>\n
Operations Manager Mike Trow said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to continue our expansion into Cheshire with our first storage park in the south of the county and our specialist team are on site and on schedule to open next month.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see Crewe as a thriving and busy town with a great commercial tradition and we believe our flexible and affordable storage is a perfect fit.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur customers benefit from secure, keyless coded entry, reflecting our focus on simplicity and flexibility. There\u2019s no minimum rental period, no notice required to vacate, and customers only pay for the time they use.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur online booking system makes storing with us quicker and easier than ever, whilst new customers can sign up and move in within just a few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Approximately 70% of customers are private individuals – house movers or those storing treasured belongings – while around 30% of units are used by small businesses to store tools, equipment, and stock and more.<\/p>\n
The company is also seeing rising demand from students needing short-term storage and offers a unique off-site container hire and sale service, delivering units directly to customer locations via its own fleet.<\/p>\n
Trow added: \u201cAt Lock Stock, we like to be involved in the communities where we operate by sponsoring local sports teams, supporting charity events, and partnering with schools and community groups to make a positive difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all part of our commitment to giving back and being more than just a storage provider.\u201d<\/p>\n
