The site runs to 10 acres and the warehouse to 48,000 square feet, which is why the units go up to 8,000. That upper end is the part worth noting. Most storage aimed at businesses tops out at something closer to a large garage, which is fine for archive boxes and useless for stock, plant or a full office fit-out waiting on a building. Here the range starts at 35 square feet and runs to 8,000, so the same supplier covers a sole trader’s tools and a company’s entire surplus inventory.
There is also a 20 ton overhead crane on site for loading and offloading 20ft and 40ft containers, which very few regional operators have.

What businesses keep here
Surplus and seasonal stock is the common one, because retail space costs several times what warehouse space costs and most of the year you do not need it. After that it is office furniture waiting on a fit-out, IT and equipment between premises, and archived paperwork that has to be retained but does not have to sit in the office.
Confidential documents are handled properly rather than just stacked. Storage now, secure destruction later, with the destruction carried out to BS EN 15713 and a certificate issued once it has taken place.
Security on a working site
There are on-site security guards as well as CCTV and fire alarm systems. That is a meaningful difference from an unstaffed self-storage park with a gate code, particularly for anything you would struggle to replace or would have to report as a loss.
The units themselves
Storage here is insulated against the cold and vented to avoid damp and moisture, which matters more than people expect for paper records, electronics and anything upholstered. Units are self-contained and lockable.
Getting it in and out
We can collect from your premises or you can deliver, whichever fits how you work. Where a business is already using us for a relocation, the storage leg is planned into the same project rather than booked separately.
For anything arriving or leaving in a shipping container, the crane handles 20ft and 40ft units on site. That removes a handover that would otherwise happen at a port or a third-party yard.
Scaling with the business
Take more space for a peak, give it back afterwards. Short and long term contracts are both available, so the commitment matches the need rather than the other way round.
Where we are
Knowsley Business Park sits on the M57 and close to the M62, which puts the site within a short run of most of Merseyside and inside easy reach of the wider North West.
