Access Self Storage Easter Charity Activity update

“After a few members of the “hero team” went undercover yesterday at the King’s Cross store, we are delighted to announce that the PR machine is churning away nicely and after a pre-appeal piece in the Islington and Camden Gazette last week, hundreds and hundreds of toys have been donated! So much so that the store have had to move the drop off point to a large unit!

Larissa Clark from Islington (featured above) says “What a fantastic charity appeal. The Royal Free Hospital is close to my heart and I am so happy to be able to donate these toys to the children on the ward”

After a successful PR week with pre-appeal features in the Reading Chronicle, Southern Daily Echo, Hammersmith and Fulham Chronicle, Islington and Camden Gazette, The Best Of Richmond and The Portsmouth News, let’s hope that the Easter Bunny will be collecting hundreds of toys from each of the ten locations!”

Access Self Storage Islington turns 10!

Access Self Storage Islington celebrates its ten year anniversary this month. The store opened in April 2000, offering approximately 16,000 sq ft of storage space spread over 2 floors. In 2006 a three storey extension building was completed, taking capacity to 66,567 sq ft of storage units, big enough to house the main exhibition hall of Islington’s Business Design Centre!

The team have been marking the store’s 10 years in the Eagle Wharf area of Islington by offering Islington Chamber of Commerce members 10% off storage, and reminiscing with current customers, some of whom have been with Access since the Islington branch opened!

Access Self Storage Islington Manager, Martin Cottmore, also recently reached his 10 year anniversary with the company, though he hasn’t been at our Islington store all that time. Martin began his career in our Kings Cross store, then crossed the river leaving central London behind for South London, and our Woolwich store. After a couple of years commuting to Charlton, Martin then headed for North London, where he has happily remained since.

We look forward to organising a joint 21st for Martin and the Access Islington store in 2021!
