Flexiss Group, a top independent storage management platform, has recently launched its newest facility in York under their SureStore brand. The company now operates 17 stores across multiple financial institutions, with York being the latest investment from Legal and General Investment Management (LGIM), the largest UK-based asset manager.
The new SureStore facility in York is the first of its kind, integrating a specification targeting net-zero carbon in operation with a fully automated no-key access system. The state-of-the-art security system, called Nokē, is hands-free, allowing customers to access the facility using Bluetooth technology with facial or thumbprint recognition. Nokē controls gate access and every lock in the facility, making it one of the most secure storage facilities in the UK.
The York SureStore location is Flexiss Group’s second UK store funded by LGIM’s Industrial Property Investment Fund and aims to be net-zero carbon in operation. This is part of the company’s and LGIM’s continued commitment to sustainability and developing new environmentally conscious buildings.
Flexiss Group’s Commercial Director, Paul Whittaker, expressed his delight at the launch of the York facility, stating that it is a multi-purpose facility that brings both net-zero carbon in operation and a fully automated high security system, making it the first of its kind in the UK. He further expressed his pride in being part of an industry-leading company that continues to evolve and innovate.
The Assistant Fund Manager at LGIM Real Assets, Matthew Lilley, also praised the facility, calling it a best-in-class storage facility that incorporates new technologies such as the Nokē system to enhance the customer experience and drive outperformance.
The York facility offers 36,000 sq ft of premium storage space, last mile logistic space, office and co-work opportunities, as well as flex-space work areas designed for start-up businesses in York and the surrounding areas. Flexiss Group’s commitment to sustainability and pioneering approach to storage solutions has led to the creation of unique self-storage facilities, designed for the local community while setting industry standards.
Flexiss Group plans to continue its growth and success with further expansion in other UK-wide locations, all featuring Nokē and net-zero technology. Investment partner Legal & General has funded the recent new store openings in Wokingham and York, with plans for further store openings in Loughborough, Stoke, Stevenage, Hamstead and Bedford.
Overall, Flexiss Group’s net-zero fully automated self-storage facility in York is now open and is set to provide exceptional storage solutions and customer experience while remaining committed to sustainability and innovation.
