My self-storage journey has been one of growth and genuine joy, working through four different groups, multiple brands and been directly involved with over 35 facilities since my adventure began with BiG Storage back in November 2012. I am now a Director of the Flexiss Group, a team I am proud to be associated with I was as a founding member and later the first Chair of the SSA YLG (Young Leaders Group). I have been fortunate to be directly involved with a huge mix of facilities, from traditional self-storage locations and buildings, dealing with the challenges and opportunities these present, as well as being instrumental in location finding, development, financing, operating, exiting and acquiring, some of the most advanced facilities in the UK today.
