In a highly competitive category at the forefront of the self-storage industry, Flexiss Group and Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) are delighted to announce the outstanding achievements of SureStore Bury, a part of their innovative SureStore portfolio. In October, this self-storage facility secured an impressive double victory by being awarded the prestigious title of “Multi-Site Operator Store of the Year 2023” at the FEDESSA European Self Storage Awards. This recognition follows SureStore Bury’s earlier triumph as “UK Multi-Site Operator Store of the Year” at the UK SSA Awards in May 2023.
Both the Self Storage Association United Kingdom (SSA UK) Awards, held at the Hilton Metropole Birmingham, and the FEDESSA European Self Storage Awards in Rotterdam, are esteemed events that honour exceptional contributions and accomplishments within the self-storage industry. These accolades hold particular significance due to the industry’s fierce competition and high standards.
SureStore Bury, which opened its doors in September 2019, stands as the fourth facility in the SureStore network and is part of Flexiss Group, a leading independent storage management platform. Conveniently located just off the M66 at the bustling Pilsworth retail park, this facility has been a beacon of innovation in self-storage. SureStore Bury offers a range of storage solutions, including Home Storage units, Business Storage units, Drive-up Storage for enhanced accessibility, and Trade Counters catering to local businesses.
In addition to state-of-the-art storage options, the facility boasts purpose-built offices and has rapidly gained recognition as an industry leader. Its strategic design and amenities, such as a 1000sqft ground floor office with comprehensive facilities, have set a new industry benchmark.
Paul Whitaker, Commercial Director at Flexiss Group, expressed his pride in this achievement: “An absolutely amasing achievement considering this is our first time in with the ‘big boys’ after only opening the first SureStore in 2018. This double win at both the UK and European levels is a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in the self-storage industry.”
Jon Gardner, Operations Director of SureStore, added, “SureStore Bury is a shining example of what makes our industry great. Well-trained, friendly multi-talented staff, flexible solutions for all customer types, a deep connection to the local community, and a stack of tech which means we are always ready for anything.”
Flexiss Group has introduced innovative technologies to offer sustainable storage solutions, minimising their carbon footprint. Sustainable features at their facilities include integrated EV charging points, LED lighting, PV panels, and cycle storage. They are dedicated to ensuring that all future new builds operate at Net Zero Carbon.
This double award win for SureStore Bury not only highlights the facility’s exceptional service and operational excellence but also underscores the strategic vision and industry leadership of Flexiss Group and LGIM. Their commitment to delivering top-tier storage solutions, exceptional customer service, and innovative business practices has clearly paid off, setting a new standard for quality and excellence in the self-storage industry.
