About us

Big Yellow Self Storage is Britain’s favourite self storage company providing secure and modern storage for homes and businesses. Founded in 1998 with our very first store in Richmond upon Thames, we now have over 71,000 customers storing with us and employ over 450 people. We are listed on the FTSE 250 London Stock Exchange. Our Company Purpose is to ensure the hopes of people and businesses are never held back by a lack of space. Our culture is best described through our Company Values; helpfulness, empathy, flexibility, innovativeness and integrity. Big Yellow customers use us when they need to find some extra space, often at key events in their lives. This may include moving home, carrying out home improvements, getting married or separating, starting a family, downsizing, dealing with inheritance or simply using us as a spare room when they run out of space at home. We are also home to many of Britain’s businesses, large and small, who use us to store stock or as a distribution hub. At Big Yellow, we know the most important space of all is the environment that surrounds us. To us, that means the surrounding physical space as well as the communities we live and work in. We work hard to create an environmentally sustainable business and it is an approach which runs through everything we do. Big Yellow also supports 160 local communities and local charities through the donation of storage space. In addition, the Big Yellow Foundation supports seven charities to help vulnerable adults get back into work. Money is raised from customer donations plus employee fundraising and Big Yellow match every pound donated.

  • Sustainability is the responsibility of EVERYONE. So at Big Yellow, we ensure our stores are energy efficient, even in the winter months. This includes air source heat pumps, which take advantage of the natural heat from the air around us helping to keep our stores cosier in the colder season.

  • Big Yellow customer Merc specialise in iconic British fashion, including Parkas and Harrington jackets which are enjoying a moment thanks to the reconciliation between the Gallagher brothers. National customers like Merc can have multiple branch access so they can operate local distribution centres right from our stores. Of course, we throw in dedicated teams, courier services, and extended hours to make it even easier. But why take our word for it? Sas from Merc says that when looking for a place to store Merc stock she “wanted the ability to scale and switch service elements on or off. At Big Yellow you can take and reduce space without a long discussion and the need for lawyers or the other hidden costs” Big Yellow supports businesses of all sizes.

  • While small business owners store stock with us all year round, many retailers often need to increase storage space over the festive season.  If you are experiencing increased sales demand during peak present-buying period, we can help you upsize quickly and easily - even if the need is just for a few weeks. This is just one of the ways we offer SMBs flexibility 365 days a year.  Check out: https://lnkd.in/ephJ67Pz

  • We know it can be difficult to work out exactly how much space you may need. 60% of people incorrectly estimate how much storage space they need when getting a quote online. So don’t leave it to guesswork as you’re likely to need less than you think. Less space means less cost. Talk to our store teams or pop in and see the range of storage rooms available. A quick conversation could save you money.
