Opening its doors in November, Country Green Storage, created and owned by Victoria Wilkinson, is paving the way for bespoke and holistic self-storage services.
You may think self-storage is just self-storage, how can it even have a holistic approach? – But there-in lies the secret. When people think of self-storage they think of old containers on an industrial estate or those large indoor storage facilities whose size (and colour) dominate the outskirts of big towns and cities; Country Green Storage is different.
Situated in Bromham, Wiltshire, just 12 miles from Bath and right in the middle of well-known county towns such as Devizes, Chippenham, Melksham, Trowbridge, Holt and Bradford on Avon means one of its key attractions is location, location, location. If you want somewhere you can get to easily without having to deal with rush-hour traffic then Country Green is for you.
But what about the ‘holistic’ thing? Good question. Well, along with its prime location for most of Wiltshire and North Somerset towns, Country Green Storage is offering a one stop shop for pretty much anything you would ever need when storing your personal or business property.
From storing, packaging, sign and store, modifying your unit to suit your needs, they’ll tailor everything to suit you. They even have a post box style service where you can rent from them (for a pretty good price) a personal Country Green Post Box (SG Box on their website), have your online purchases or post delivered there, collecting whenever is good for you, no waiting in for deliveries or rushing to the post office on your lunch break, they’ve got it sorted – they’ll even bring your delivery to you. That’s what we mean by holistic, an all-round, comprehensive service for anything you’d ever need when it comes to storage.
Having lived in London for nearly 10 years Victoria decided to follow her heart and move back to the countryside. “I have always been a country girl and in the beginning I found London difficult to adjust to but knowing I would return to countryside I learned to love it”. Victoria studied at the prestigious University College London and having successfully gained her degree followed it with a masters in musical theatre at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Moving to the world of fashion and having experienced a good grounding in business she decided the time was right to follow her parents’ example and start her own company.
“I have learned from my Mum and Dad that there is no substitute for hard work. I want to create a successful business that people feel they can rely on and that people feel is fair and the service is second to none. I have also turned into a bit of a container geek and I think container ships are awesome, I would love to go on one!”
Security is a big focus at Country Green; the whole site is fenced and hedged, it’s set back from the road, they have security gates with personal pin codes which allows you 7-day-a-week access, number plate recognition cameras logging each and every vehicle that comes in and out of the premises and complete full CCTV coverage of the site.
Victoria says: “It’s not so much a feeling of ‘big brother is watching’ but more a feeling of comfortable security.” And with censored lighting on the outside of each container accessing your unit in the winter months is made much easier and safer. You would think this level of service and security would come at a price but not with Country Green. For what you get they are undoubtedly one of the fairest and most reasonably priced storage companies around.
Along with self-storage and other services Country Green Storage are also retailers of premium shipping containers and container modifications. If want to buy a container for your own use or you want one turned into an office, tack room or toilet block, Country Green can help. Tommy Hilfiger even used containers as swimming pools at one of his shows – the sky is the limit.
All in all, Country Green have really put a lot of thought and time into giving their clients a great service. From the lighting on the outside of the containers to the bespoke personal services, they have made a big effort to make sure they give their customers the best.
