Devon self-storage company expands with fourth site

A South West self-storage company has expanded and opened a fourth site in the county.

Devon-based Your Super Storage has expanded with help from asset finance provider, Ignition. With three existing storage sites in and around Teignmouth and Totnes, Your Super Storage will open its fourth site in Galmpton.

Truro-based Ignition provides financial support to SMEs via commercial loans for specific business purposes, or by financing a wide range of business assets including vehicles, machinery and equipment. It was able to assist Your Super Storage with finance for 22 new storage units for the new site, worth £65,000.

Managing director, Andy Bolt, founded Your Super Storage after initially leaving the building trade in 2008 to take on delivery work and house clearances, and subsequently launching his own removal company, Devon & Dorset Removals, in 2011. It was while undertaking removals he identified a growing demand amongst house movers for affordable and accessible self-storage solutions.

Andy opened his first site in Riverview Quarry, Totnes, with 10 storage containers. From there, he approached Ignition for support in financing a second site at Broadmeadow Lane in Teignmouth in 2017, and subsequently opened a third site in Steamer Quay in Totnes during the Covid pandemic, filling all 21 new containers within just eight weeks.

The opening of the Galmpton site brings his total number of storage units to 179.

Mr Bolt commented: “Now that remote working has become much more prevalent, there’s been a noticeable influx of people moving out of the cities and seeking the Devonshire coast and countryside, and many need affordable storage solutions while they get settled. At Your Super Storage we offer excellent rates for the safe storage of belongings, with access available at any time of the day or night.

“Our new site at Galmpton provides a much-needed service for people moving in and around the Brixham and Paignton areas, and we anticipate expanding further as demand continues to grow.”

Ross Hyde, relationship manager at Ignition, added: “It has been a pleasure to help Your Super Storage expand its presence in the English Riviera with container site number four - another critical milestone for the business. Supporting the growth of local businesses is key to our mission, and with Andy’s entrepreneurial spirit, I’m sure Your Super Storage will continue to thrive. I look forward to being on board for the next chapter!”
