Aberdeen self storage firm celebrates UK award nomination

An Aberdeen self storage company is celebrating reaching the finals of a prestigious UK and European storage award.

Simply Self Storage, which has a facility in Aberdeen, has been shortlisted in The Federation of European Self Storage Associations (FEDESSA) and the Self Storage Association United Kingdom (SSA UK) awards in the Best Facility UK – Independent Operator 2015 category. The winners of the UK competition will go on to compete in the European competition.

The specialist firm which was established in 2009, prides itself on its state-of-the-art security system, and nine year record of zero security incidents, as well as a warm welcome and superior customer service.

Kevin Shand, managing director, Simply Self Storage, said: “We are delighted to be nominated as finalists in the national award, as it demonstrates the distinctive service we have on offer.

“Many of our clients have been with Simply Self Storage since we opened, asking us to look after everything from house contents to business supplies. People moving house, downsizing, storing memorabilia and businesses using the facility as a storeroom find that our ease of access, variety of storage options and the ultimate of peace of mind. We like to think of Simply Self Storage as a hotel, but where the guests are goods.

“Due to high demand for self storage in Aberdeen, we will be opening a new facility in Tullos in 2016, which will operate with the same level of security, ease of access and high level of customer service.”

Rennie Schafer, CEO of the Self Storage Association (UK) said, “The Self Storage Association encourages all our members to attain best practice in the industry, and the industry awards recognise those operators that have gone above and beyond to produce exceptional businesses.
