Sustainability

At Storeaway, providing the ultimate self-storage service to our customers, staff, and the communities, while at the same time protecting the planet is at the heart of how we do business. By repurposing city-centre buildings, we are not only avoiding the environmental damage of developing new ones, but it enables us to be near to our customers, saving them time and money.

Being located in city centres enables our customers and employees to travel by environmentally friendly modes of transport (i.e. public transport, cycle or walk). 

Repurposing Buildings

Eco-friendly products
