A DENBIGH-based self-storage firm is investing more than £100,000 in one of its sites.

Lock Stock Self-Storage, the UK’s largest containerised self-storage business, is to treble the capacity of its Ruabon Road site in Wrexham from 60 units to 180.

The firm, which has a base in Denbigh, acquired the Wrexham site two years ago and until recently had just 60 containers there.

But it has now spent £100,000 on clearing the site, putting down a tarmac surface and installing security fencing, cameras and lighting

It is part of an ongoing expansion across its 18 sites in North Wales and the border counties that should see the business commission its 3,000th container this year

Lock Stock director Nick Powell said: “We recently carried out a similar expansion at our Saltney site and like all our developments it has been an organic expansion because we have seen a considerable increase in enquiries in this area recently and we have responded.”

Area manager Jeff Woods is overseeing the expansion at Ruabon Road and he said: “We have this year opened a new site in Holyhead and increased capacity at Saltney and Mold as well as at our sites at Llandudno Junction, Bangor and Oswestry."
