Chorley-based removals firm Andrew Porter Ltd has seen a successful launch to its new self storage facility which opened last month.
The purpose built warehouse, at the firm’s headquarters on Huyton Road, Adlington features more than 600 indoor units and 50 outdoor units, for both business and domestic customers.
Managing director Tim Aspey says the facility has been well received, thanks to innovative services and extras designed to make the storage process as convenient as possible.
“We already have a huge containerised storage warehouse, and many of our removal customers require storage, so creating our own self storage facility seemed like a natural step,” he said.
“We spent months planning the facility and our services, taking time to consider how to make life easier for our customers and what they would find useful.
“Services such as our free hire van to help people move items into store, free assistance with loading and unloading, pay-per-item storage for customers with a small amount to store, and our ‘self store to your door’ collection service have proved hugely popular.”
The secure facility is equipped with full CCTV monitoring, access control and alarm system. A café and packing materials store are available on-site, as well as free meeting rooms and office space to hire.
A range of business services are on hand, including dock levellers, fork truck assistance, a huge goods lift, DHL mailing point, business mailing addresses and national and international distribution services.
