A self storage firm is set to open its sixth site this month, with a seventh in the pipeline.
blue self storage has its flagship site in Llanishen, Cardiff. It is due to open in Bristol this month, and a seventh site is also underway in Horton Road, Gloucester.
Chris Bryan, managing director of blue self storage, said:
“We’re growing fast, but we’re growing with intention. Every site reflects our values: bold design, operational quality, and a commitment to giving back locally.”
Earlier this year the firm's Llanishen facility was named UK External Storage Site of the Year at the Self Storage Association Awards, the third time a blue self storage site has won such award in the last five years.
“To be recognised nationally once is an achievement, but to win three times in five years is a reflection of our team’s continued passion for raising industry standards,” said Dean Daly, operations director for blue self storage. “We’re not just placing units on the ground, we’re pushing the industry forward with design, technology, and a strong connection to the communities we serve.
The award win coincided with the launch of blue self storage’s fifth site, in Treforest, South Wales.
The business supports grassroots initiatives, from providing free storage units to local charities and food banks to sponsoring junior sports teams, hosting community clean-up days, and helping local start-ups by offering affordable space and flexible terms.
“When we open a site, we don’t just arrive, we connect,” Dean said. “That might mean helping a local hospice store event equipment, offering discounts for community groups, or supporting mental health charities with space and promotion. Our teams live and work in these areas, and we take pride in giving back.”
