Home / Bromsgrove’s First Ever Automated Self Storage Facility
Bromsgrove is now home to its very first fully automated self storage facility, marking a significant stride towards greater automation in our town. And, of course, it’s a Wigwam Self Storage facility pioneering this brand-new, unmanned self storage solution!
The concept of fully automated self storage may not be entirely new, but it gained traction during the pandemic as the demand for this creative solution surged. Self storage facilities across the globe began embracing the wonders of automation to stay open and meet the growing needs of their customers.
Wigwam has proudly taken the lead as the first self storage facility to bring automated convenience to Bromsgrove. Conveniently located on Aston Fields Industrial Estate, between Howdens and Tool Station on Sherwood Road, our facility brings a new era of self storage to your doorstep. In this blog, we’ll explore automated self storage and what it means for you and self storage in Bromsgrove.
What Is an Automated Self Storage Facility?
An automated self storage facility is a type of storage space where customers can access and manage their storage units electronically, without human assistance. This type of facility combines the convenience of modern technology with traditional storage solutions, offering hassle-free access to your unit via digital keypads, mobile apps, or online interfaces.
From business owners needing efficient inventory management to residents of Bromsgrove looking to declutter their living spaces, this new addition provides a more convenient storage experience for everyone.
What Are the Benefits of Self Storage Automation?
Fully automated self storage facilities offer customers many benefits, including:
- 24/7 accessibility
- Enhanced security through digital access controls and surveillance
- Outstanding convenience with online reservations and payments
What To Expect From Our Fully Automated Self Storage Facility in Bromsgrove
With our automated system, you’ll never have to worry about a lack of support ever again. Even though our facility is fully automatic, our friendly team remains readily available to assist you with any questions or concerns in real-time. You can count on them for assistance through the internal intercom system located throughout the facility. They can help with tasks like granting remote access to your unit if you’ve forgotten your PIN code, offer support for online bookings, assist with check-in services, and provide general customer support.
With over 200 modern units spanning two floors and our cutting-edge technology, we also offer a range of unique features that ensure a safe and secure environment for your stored belongings.
Smart Bluetooth Locking System
Our Smart Bluetooth Locking System is not only convenient but also super secure — it safeguards your belongings with advanced encryption and authentication. No more fumbling with traditional locks that might not be as reliable! Your smartphone becomes the key, and you’re less likely to find yourself locked out, trying to remember which elusive code you had set up for this situation.
App-Based Access Control
Managing who has access to your storage unit has never been easier. With just a few taps on your phone, you can grant temporary access to friends, family, or anyone you trust and revoke it just as easily when you’re done.
Advanced Security Features
At our state-of-the-art self storage facility in Bromsgrove, each unit comes equipped with individual alarms and motion-tracking sensors, so even the slightest movement won’t go unnoticed. The entire facility is under the watchful eye of our 24-hour CCTV surveillance system, ensuring every corner is well-monitored around the clock. And when it comes to locking up, our electronic locking system adds an extra layer of protection.

Customer Reviews

Clean, secure, easy access storage facilities at a very good price, would recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work all.
Lenny was not only very efficient and kind, he explained everything clearly making the whole process stress free.
I started by visiting the website, which was easy to navigate and helped me determine the right unit size.
After submitting my details, I received a follow-up call during which all my questions were answered professionally.
The units are clean and well maintained, and having a personal access code made it easy to visit at a time that suited me.
The team here is genuinely lovely and professional.
Thank you for looking after me — highly recommended!
location. Good access in opening hours using the App. (Be prepared to check mail filter if the initial email giving access to the App and hence to your store does not seem to come through.) Clean, well lit. Kasey gave a very helpful introduction and registration process.

I've never used self storage before so it was all new to me but Wigwam have made it so intuitive and simple to use. You download the app which gives you easy Bluetooth access to the entire building. I've only used the facility out of office hours and it was all so easy. There are flat bed trolleys, a pump truck and a sack truck to make moving your items hassle free. Safe, secure storage, easy to use, accessible until 10pm and reasonable prices. Top marks all round.
I'd recommended Wigwam to anyone wanting self storage.


Lenny called as soon as I emailed and was extremely helpful on making this process quick and easy so i could get into the unit the next day.
there was an issue with the app when i went to use the unit but i emailed Lenny and he rang back within 5 mins and managed to resolve the issue very quickly.
would recommend and thanks to Lenny for making the process smooth.
Units are clean and well maintained with easy access.
Many thanks!! 😊

Wigwam are highly recommended by me!
I can’t recommend Wigwam Storage in Lincoln highly enough. From start to finish, the whole experience was fantastic. Every member of the team was incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional — nothing was too much trouble, and they genuinely went out of their way to make the process easy and stress-free.
The facility itself is excellent: clean, secure, well-maintained, and clearly run with a lot of care. It’s obvious they take real pride in what they do, and that gives you total peace of mind when storing your belongings.
If you’re looking for a reliable storage facility in Lincoln with an amazing team and top-quality facilities, Wigwam Storage is the place to go. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and will happily recommend them to anyone.
Would recommend to everyone.
The signing up process was easy, and the service from the staff was speedy, friendly, helpful and professional.
The app used to access the premises was easy to use and gave added assurance of the security of my items.
Once inside the premises were modern, clean, well lit, and directions to the storage unit were clear and easy to follow…. Even the lift had step by step instructions!
All in all a fantastic company and storage facility.
Thank you!


The customer service is second to none, and facilities utterly perfect.
11 out of 10.

I was very impressed everything is via the app and that side of things is very responsive and I have had no issues so far.
They even play the radio in there.
Holly was an absolute star, we were panicking as we were in the middle of our house moving and needed a quick storage area. Less then an hour after our first call we were already putting boxes to our Storage.
The site is nice and clean, the entry system is truly clever and makes the storage Access easy and quick.
Customer service is top notch 👌
They talked me through the entering and exiting the facility. Jess was outstanding dealing with all the paperwork quickly and me being forgetful and dim.
Thank you very much, hopefully I won't set any alarms off again


My one suggestion is to extend the timers on the doors when entering the storage unit as sometimes it enough time to unload big deliveries onto a trolley and get back to the unit building before the doors close!
All in all, AMAZING company! Couldn’t recommend more :)


All the staff are very helpful and friendly highly recommended
Access is available 6am to 10pm

TheWigwam staff saw the shipment into the storage unit for us and made it all as simple as is possible when moving home and countries at the same time.
The storage building is well organised, clean, tidy, secure and access was available everyday for a significant number of hours.
Most of all ,the staff were kind, concerned, helpful and friendly. as anyone using the storage facility will learn.

Much Appreciated ☺️
I’d highly recommend them to anyone!

Great service for a great price. Highly recommend.










Very happy client so far, thanks to Lenny and team 🙏😃


The units are easy to access, they are spacious and clean. I have a lot of camping equipment plus all my Xmas decorations (I have a lot) in the winter we will also be storing our hot tub. We also have lots of stuff that was the children’s when they were growing up. It has given us the spare room back at the house.
Staff are always polite friendly and very helpful.





The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you Lenny for dealing with our emergency fast and supportive,

My wife and I moved back and forth between Cheltenham and other European countries during our two months long trip, Mr.Harrison( Kasey) supported us friendly and professionally.
We will definitely use it again next time.
See you !
We needed sudden storage after selling our parents’ house. I stopped in at the Bromsgrove branch and found it unmanned, (which I now know is normal).
I rang the number and spoke to an extremely helpful employee who offered me immediate, remote access to the building and let me see inside two different sized units.
After that, the set up was extremely quick!
I applied in the morning and was able to drop stuff off the same day. Everything is activated by an app on your phone but staff can be contacted by phone if needed.
On my second visit (after lots of rain) I did notice a pool of water not far from my unit. I rang up and by next day it had been sorted. No recurrence.
I am really happy with the unit and the excellent service.
Lift so you don’t have to struggle in and out with your things lots of parking too
The best thing that made me hire space is the ladies in reception they were so accommodating and helpful so thank you
I hired storage for my daughter to store all her Uni belongings while she was away for the summer.
Sasha provided excellent friendly service. Always at hand to help with any questions from the beginning to the end of our contract.
Great value for money.
Thank you Sascha.
Helen was efficient, proactive, enthusiastic, engaging and more importantly had a great sense of humour.
You could not ask more of a person or company.
Thank you.
Highly recommend this company
Would definitely recommend.
