Big Yellow Self Storage

Every year Big Yellow donates storage space for the Royal British Legion. As always, Big Yellow will provide safe and secure storage for the charity to allow it to continue its fundraising activities to support serving and ex-serving armed forces personnel and their families.

We are thrilled to announce our support for Headlong Theatre's production of "A Raisin in the Sun." At Big Yellow Self Storage, we believe in the power of theatre and the arts to break down barriers and engage communities in important social issues. Headlong is renowned for touring high-calibre productions across the UK, making theatre accessible to all, including new and diverse audiences. Headlong is also committed to deepening and nurturing young people’s understanding of theatre and the arts, aiming to raise their cultural aspirations. Catch "A Raisin in the Sun" at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre from 8 Oct to 2 Nov, and at Nottingham Playhouse from 5 to 16 Nov. Don't miss this incredible production.

Things you don’t expect to see at Big Yellow. This week saw this impressive sandcastle mermaid sculpture, created for The Ivy Collection by Sand in Your Eye, arrive at one of our stores.  Our safe and secure storage space will house the sculpture until the grand opening of The Ivy Bournemouth in November. 

The Big Yellow Foundation proudly supports seven charity partners, including the inspiring Backup trust. We support the charity in its commitment to using sustainable employment to help transform the lives affected by spinal cord injury. We recently worked with Back Up on its Careers Fair and supported its Education Inclusion Service which helps the charity to expand its services to support vulnerable people.

We know it can be difficult to work out exactly how much space you may need. 60% of people incorrectly estimate how much storage space they need when getting a quote online. So don’t leave it to guesswork as you’re likely to need less than you think. Less space means less cost. Talk to our store teams or pop in and see the range of storage rooms available. A quick conversation could save you money.

There’s no escape! Meet Full Set Productions, a trio specialising in the conception, design and installation of escape rooms. When the team needed a place to safely protect their vast collection of props, they turned to Big Yellow to find a flexible option. No long contracts and top-notch security - including alarmed rooms and personal access codes - made the choice easy. Read more about Full Set Productions here: https://lnkd.in/eAMWDzBf

We're committed to creating an open and collaborative culture. Our Bright Ideas Suggestion Scheme provides our teams with the opportunity to come up with, contribute & get rewarded for new business ideas.

Our new NET ZERO store in Slough has our biggest rooftop solar installation to date – a huge 200 kWp system. We have also installed the latest battery technology which will allow us to conserve and use more solar energy, more efficiently during the times in which the sun isn’t shining.

Side hustles are a big thing in Britain but our recent research uncovered that for many running small businesses from home space is a real struggle. Over a third say their business is taking over their homes. For the 75% of side hustlers using their homes for storing stock, Big Yellow can help with local storage for as long or as short of a time period as you need.
