Welcome to Self Storage Week 

A celebration of space, flexibility, and the real-life value of self storage.

At Access Self Storage, we’re proud to launch the UK’s first official Self Storage Week – a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the true potential of self storage, and celebrating the people, businesses, and stories behind the doors.

Despite being a £1 billion industry, self storage remains one of the most misunderstood services in the UK. In fact, fewer than 50% of people truly understand what self storage offers. That’s why we created Self Storage Week – to shine a spotlight on the sector, break down common misconceptions, and show how storage is helping people and businesses across the country adapt, grow, and thrive.

Why We Created Self Storage Week

Self Storage Week was created to:

• Educate the public about what self storage is and who it helps
• Celebrate the customers, staff, and businesses who rely on it every day
• Connect with local communities through events, partnerships, and initiatives
• Raise awareness for a good cause – including a half marathon charity walk for Cancer Research UK

The Impact of Storage, Reimagined

Self Storage Week is about rethinking what storage can do. From supporting e-commerce businesses to easing stressful life changes, self storage has quietly become a vital service in modern life. And yet, many still see it as a space for things, not solutions.

Our mission is to change that – to reframe self storage as the flexible, empowering tool it really is. Whether you're a small business owner, a student, a homeowner, or just curious, Self Storage Week is your invitation to see storage differently.
