U-Store helps local businesses contain costs

Doncaster, South Yorkshire: U-store, a clean and secure storage facility recently opened by Phoenix Property Development [PPD] close to the centre of Doncaster could help a diverse range of local businesses ride the recession.

Businesses are quite rightly cautious in the continuing economic climate, even those which are thriving. Many of them which have opportunities for growth may not want to take on the added burden of larger premises, and this is where U-Store comes in.

U-Store self-store units offer 1150 cubic feet of storage space, which as an example, equates to storage for the contents of an average 3-bedroom house. The interior of the units can be fitted out with shelving or racking constructed to suit particular storage needs, with space that is flexible enough to accommodate a building companys expensive tools, deep storage for legal and business documents, archive boxes and office furniture, excess retail stock or occasional use household items such as garden furniture, motorbikes and jet skis.

The U-Store site is a secure, well maintained and professionally managed site, with an electronic CCTV monitored security entry system, offering 24/7 access. Units are available for both short and longer term rental.

PPD Director, Bryan Merrett explains the idea behind the new venture, sayingU-Store can provide much needed storage space for businesses looking to their cost base, and we have already seen substantial local interest.

Simon Hulley and Paul Kerry from local quality roofing company, H & K, have recently taken a unit to store equipment.They comment, U-Store is a much more cost-effective way of growing the business than moving to new premises.
