As companies slowly return to work post lockdown, social distancing rules means that many will be looking at new ways of conducting business. With the rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is still too early to estimate how badly the pandemic will affect the UK economy and over the next few months small business in particular will face a whole range of new challenges. Many can only guess at the impact this will have on their day to day running and with so many new protocols to consider it may even make recovery feel almost impossible.

Business storage

Whilst people were advised not leave their homes for unnecessary journeys, some businesses were no longer able to operate from their usual premises and offices and shops were locked up. Leases and all the associated bills still had to be paid, which left many owners facing the difficult decision whether to keep paying for buildings they were longer using or to move out. Moving in to business storage gives business owners a lower cost alternative to keeping their premises going indefinitely.

Equipment and document storage

If continuing to pay rent on work premises stopped being a viable option for your business, you may have been left wondering where to securely store all of your office furniture, accounts files, machinery and existing stock. Wigwam Self Storage can provide storage solutions for all of your office equipment and documents and can even offer a secure document disposal service.

Man and Van / Van Hire

Our Man and Van service in Chipping Norton can help move your items from your old premises to our storage facility, or you can use the self van hire option for an even more cost effective solution.

Operate from our premises

Wigwam can provide a professional business address and full virtual office services to help you build your business back up again. Many entrepreneurs already use Wigwam as an operational base and this could also be the perfect solution for many local businesses.

Easy peasy. Nice people to deal with; all my (probably, very silly) questions were answered quickly and clearly, and the follow up to check that my move went smoothly was a nice finishing touch.

Really seamless experience from start to finish. App was incredibly easy to use and convenient 24/7 access allowed me to move all my house stuff over in less than a week. The unit I booked was the perfect size to fit all my furniture in from a large 2 bed house. Would definitley recommend anybody looking for storage to use Wigwam

Absolutely incredible service. At a very stressful time for my family and I, Lenny made organising storage an easy simple process! A warm welcome when we arrived, a lovely clean storage facility and endless effort from the team! I would highly recommend anyone to use these dudes!
The paperwork was quick and efficient and the customer service was top notch. The security is very thorough as well and the opening times are very user friendly. Highly recommended!

Very good. I was a bit worried because it is app based but even for a technophob like me it was very easy.
