Offers storage for overflow stock – close to shop in Leith
As with any sales business success depends on stock.
We are delighted to have been gifted off-site storage offering us 24/7 access by Safestore Self Storage in Leith just 5 minutes from the VOCAL Carer Hub on Leith Walk. It was a really easy set-up to get the room and we were given a very warm welcome by the team there. Best thing is the kettle is always on when you visit. If you think you could use some extra storage get in touch with them it’s a cost-effective way of storing practically anything.
