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.
About us
Big Yellow Self Storage is Britain’s favourite self storage company providing secure and modern storage for homes and businesses. Founded in 1998 with our very first store in Richmond upon Thames, we now have over 71,000 customers storing with us and employ over 450 people. We are listed on the FTSE 250 London Stock Exchange. Our Company Purpose is to ensure the hopes of people and businesses are never held back by a lack of space. Our culture is best described through our Company Values; helpfulness, empathy, flexibility, innovativeness and integrity. Big Yellow customers use us when they need to find some extra space, often at key events in their lives. This may include moving home, carrying out home improvements, getting married or separating, starting a family, downsizing, dealing with inheritance or simply using us as a spare room when they run out of space at home. We are also home to many of Britain’s businesses, large and small, who use us to store stock or as a distribution hub. At Big Yellow, we know the most important space of all is the environment that surrounds us. To us, that means the surrounding physical space as well as the communities we live and work in. We work hard to create an environmentally sustainable business and it is an approach which runs through everything we do. Big Yellow also supports 160 local communities and local charities through the donation of storage space. In addition, the Big Yellow Foundation supports seven charities to help vulnerable adults get back into work. Money is raised from customer donations plus employee fundraising and Big Yellow match every pound donated.

We are excited to announce our newest store on Farnham Road in Slough is now open. This is our first newly-built net zero facility, featuring our largest solar PV installation on a Big Yellow store which has helped it achieve a rare EPC rating of A+. We now have five net zero stores where the green energy produced from our rooftop solar exceeds the energy we use in the store. At Slough Farnham Road, this is assisted by a cutting edge battery which stores the energy for future use when the sun isn’t shining. The store has over 900 storage rooms, external drive up units and flexi offices covering 65,000 sq ft. A Big Yellow thank you to everyone who worked on the store – our building team, consultants and contractors.
