we are… Britain’s favourite self storage company
Building
on a proven model
Big Yellow Group PLC is the UK’s brand leader in self storage. We operate from a platform of 96 stores, including 22 Armadillo stores, in which the Group has a 20% interest. We also own ten more development sites, including one extension site, and have planning consent for three of them. Their maximum lettable area (including Armadillo) is 5.6 million square feet, but this will increase to 6.2 million when we’ve finished developing them. Of all these stores and sites, we hold 97% by value as freehold and long leasehold, with the other 3% short leasehold.
We have been the driving force behind modern self storage, locating along high profile, accessible main roads and using state-of-the-art technology in our stores. This, along with an unwavering desire to provide the best customer service, has made us by far the strongest self storage brand in Britain.
