A busy start for storage in 2009
January 2009 in particular has been very busy for our team.
The credit crunch seems to have driven a wide variety of folks into needing self storage, for a wide range of reasons.
We have seen a large number of people moving away from the UK, often because they have lost their job. Some are emigrating at least semi-permanently, some are just going back-packing around the world - doing the trip they always wanted to do but never got the chance.
A significant proportion of new customers are coming to us because they are trying to save money on storage - often, customers are storing with one of the big-brand (and big-price) storage companies, and have realised that they can save over half their storage rent just by giving us a call.
Sadly, we've also seen a few customers coming our way because they can't afford the rent or the mortgage, and so have had to downsize for a while. Thankfully, there aren't too many of these at the moment.
February seems a bit quieter so far. Perhaps the panic just before and after Christmas has ababted, and we're all just settling down to a long grind of a recession. Let's hope March brings out the sun and a bit of optimism!
