When estate agent Maxwell Douglas needed more room to operate, the pressure wasn’t coming from day-to-day stock movement, it was coming from the need to reclaim valuable office space. Archive materials were taking up space at the back of their office, limiting how effectively they could use their premises.
By taking a unit at Wigwam Self Storage, Maxwell Douglas was able to move those archives offsite and free up a significant amount of office space. That extra room had a direct commercial impact. It “allowed me to employ another two or three people, so there is direct business growth as a result” said owner Max Douglas, creating capacity for business growth and additional revenue generation.
Location also mattered. Having storage “a stone’s throw from here” made Wigwam far more practical than previous options, while the security gave peace of mind that important archive materials were safe. Even though the unit is only accessed occasionally, it delivers ongoing value by helping the business use its main workspace more productively.
Office and retail space is the most expensive square footage a business pays for. Archives, records and rarely-touched equipment don’t need it. Moving them a few minutes down the road releases space you’re already paying a premium for and puts it back to work.
Wigwam works with estate agents, solicitors, tradespeople and small businesses that need somewhere reliable for archives, stock and equipment. Rolling contracts, no long tie-in, and a highly supportive team who knows your account.
