10 Ways easyStorage Has Become a Market Leader

Discover how easyStorage is transforming UK self-storage with affordable prices, innovative mobile solutions, and sustainable, hassle-free storage options.

Self-storage hasn’t changed in decades… until now. For years, self-storage meant lugging boxes into a unit on the edge of town and hoping for the best. easyStorage turned that model on its head with a single vision: to disrupt and modernise the UK self-storage market and redefine what customers expect. From day one, our vision has been simple - to deliver affordable and convenient storage solutions that give customers the opportunity to use storage as a lifestyle choice.

Seven years later, this go-to self-storage provider has evolved. Creating simple solutions for customers: Drop & Store, Collect & Store, and Drive-UpSelf Storage. These options keep convenience, transparency, and affordability front and centre. Through this evolution, easyStorage has moulded the market with its technology-led, innovative solutions. So, we wanted to share 10 ways easyStorage has become the market leader…

1. Collect & Store: Mobile storage that comes to your door

Wes aid no more. No more hiring vans, lugging boxes up three flights of stairs, or waiting for a lift that’s been in use for an hour already. easyStorage cut out all the messy bits to ensure self-storage is as simple as possible for customers.

With the Collect & Store self-storage solution, you can book your storage to be collected right from your doorstep. Our team brings the storage unit toy our home, expertly packs it with your belongings, securely seals the unit, and then takes it to the warehouse to be stored – all while you have your feet up.Plus, when you need your items back, all you do is book a return and your unit is brought back and emptied at your doorstep.

Simple.Easy. No fuss.

2. Investment in innovation and technology

easyStorage has invested around £1 million in bespoke technology. Our internal system, Vault, combines a booking platform, customer database, and communication hub, used by teams and customers alike.

Booking scan be made, invoices generated, calendars filled, data summarised and more!This all-in-one solution makes customer interaction effortless and streamlines the booking flow.

On top of that, easyStorage has invested in AI to ensure we never miss a beat and can always help customers - even out of hours. Eve, our new AI customer experience team member, has been refined over the last year to answer questions and support customers no matter the situation. Soon to launch, this has been an exciting development at easyStorage HQ.

3. Storage that’s up to 50% cheaper than traditional self-storage

Have you seen the prices at traditional walk-in self-storage facilities? Some of these prices are higher than my mortgage! And I’m sure anyone who’s even peeked at the prices would agree – they’re outrageous!

Luckily, we have easyStorage – who do exactly what they say on the tin – make storage easy and affordable. Sitting up to 50% cheaper than walk-in competitors, easyStorage prices start from just £10.50 per week (depending on location).

4. New products that redefine self-storage needs

There was a gap in the market for affordable self-storage solutions that were uncomplicated and accessible 24/7. So, easyStorage introduced Drive-Up SelfStorage.

Here, customers can come to their unit’s day or night, access them easily using their phone’s Bluetooth, and never miss a beat. Perfect for business customers, these drive-up units are made of ventilated containers, with lighting and state-of-the-art security systems to ensure everything stays safe.

Plus, with static stairs, an upper level of smaller units is available for customers who need less space. These are perfect as extra garage space away from home and can be accessed anytime.

5. Thousands of five-star Trustpilot reviews

If you haven’t checked out easyStorage on Trustpilot yet, you’ll want to after this! With thousands of reviews (yes… thousands),it’s impossible to ignore easyStorage’s customer satisfaction.

Customers from all over the UK have taken to their phones to give fantastic reviews of the service, the team, and the innovative solutions. What was once a difficult and dreary industry has been transformed by easyStorage – fans are raving about us and breaking the stigma that self-storage once had.

6. Professional specialist teams

Only experts and specialists allowed here… because we want the absolute best for our customers! Every new team member goes through bespoke easyStorage Academy training to ensure they’re well equipped to help when needed.

Empathy, fairness, trust, and transparency are just a few of the values that easyStorage’s team live by. These values are taught, instilled, and reinforced in all the business’ stakeholders, from franchisees to sales teams. So, you always know you’re in safe hands when navigating the storage scene with us.

7. Nationwide and international expansion:bringing storage closer to you

easyStorageis expanding with the aim to have 300 new drive-up self-storage locations nationwide. In the last year, 24 new facilities have opened, and the expansion team already have over 40 prospective sites forecasted to launch.

This scale ensures customers are never too far from their local branch. The goal is to be less than 20 minutes away from any easyStorage drive-upself-storage facility - just another way to make storing effortless.

We’re also proud to mark a major milestone in the easyStorage journey - international expansion into the Netherlands. In partnership with Minerva Development andStorage Share, easyStorage has begun rebranding the first 59 high-quality self-storage sites, with more to follow soon.

8. Sustainability-minded delivery

We haven’t forgotten about the world we live in - in fact, easyStorage is dedicated to making sustainability a priority.

Our warehouses stack easyPods to make the most efficient use of space, meaning electricity use is minimal. easyContainers are repurposed, and we have plans to install solar technology at sites to make them greener. These solar-powered sites will not only power our facilities but also supply electricity to nearby towns and neighbourhoods – another reason why having an easyStorage facility near you is a good thing.

9. CSR: Giving back whilst growing forward

easyStorage partners with the Trussell Trust to provide storage and transport across the nation. The Trussell Trust supports people in crisis by providing emergency food and support. Together, we ensure less food gets wasted and more food is available - giving them the space to store what they need and delivering it where necessary.
