As companies slowly return to work post lockdown, social distancing rules means that many will be looking at new ways of conducting business. With the rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is still too early to estimate how badly the pandemic will affect the UK economy and over the next few months small business in particular will face a whole range of new challenges. Many can only guess at the impact this will have on their day to day running and with so many new protocols to consider it may even make recovery feel almost impossible.

Business storage

Whilst people were advised not leave their homes for unnecessary journeys, some businesses were no longer able to operate from their usual premises and offices and shops were locked up. Leases and all the associated bills still had to be paid, which left many owners facing the difficult decision whether to keep paying for buildings they were longer using or to move out. Moving in to business storage gives business owners a lower cost alternative to keeping their premises going indefinitely.

Equipment and document storage

If continuing to pay rent on work premises stopped being a viable option for your business, you may have been left wondering where to securely store all of your office furniture, accounts files, machinery and existing stock. Wigwam Self Storage can provide storage solutions for all of your office equipment and documents and can even offer a secure document disposal service.

Man and Van / Van Hire

Our Man and Van service in Chipping Norton can help move your items from your old premises to our storage facility, or you can use the self van hire option for an even more cost effective solution.

Operate from our premises

Wigwam can provide a professional business address and full virtual office services to help you build your business back up again. Many entrepreneurs already use Wigwam as an operational base and this could also be the perfect solution for many local businesses.

I left a well-known storage unit for Wigwam, mainly because of cost, wigwam are more reasonable, the unit is clean and is entry availablity is upto 10pm. You work off an app that allows entry not only to the building also to your rented unit. It is safe, No fear of loosing keys. The staff very helpful. Highly recommended.

Lenny was great at helping me get my storage over the phone, and was engaging and fun. I also received some help from a nice guy at the location; I think his name is Adam, a very lovely fellow. Friendly staff they've got. First time using a storage unit, and it was seamless to set up and easy to use the app without any confusion. The price was also really affordable, beyond what I assumed it would be, and I still got a 50% discount for the first 8 weeks. I highly recommend Wigwam.

Excellent Service & product !
Very easy access with parking right outside the door.
Plenty of trolleys, so no need for muscles ! It maybe a little more expensive than some others, BUT the cleanliness & ease of use perfect.
The staff are VERY patient, explaining how each unit works.
It is great to know the manned office hours & how to make contact if not.
Plenty of accessible hours too.
Ps.... they do like a biscuit or 2 in the office I hear !
