Safestore, the largest Self Storage company in the UK and Paris, is pleased to announce it has won a competitive tendering process to manage the 12 store chain of Space Maker stores. Space Maker will benefit from the national footprint of the UK’s No.1 self storage company and will have the additional benefits of scale and the consequent platforms of its on-line strength, national accounts and strategic alliances. Steve Williams, Chief Executive of Safestore, commented: ” One of the main reasons for customers considering one self storage company over another is the people. We have been very impressed with the Spacemaker store teams and welcome them to Safestore. With their commitment and our comprehensive training and development storage bristol I am confident we will see the Space Maker business flourish. ”
