Storage company Lock Stock has pledged to support the people of Aberystwyth after opening its new site in the town.

The Denbigh-based business’s new facility behind Lidl and Argos will have over 100 of the company’s distinctive dark green units in a range of sizes.

It’s not just the units that are green - the site has solar-powered security lighting, and the ground is paved with recycled road materials – you can even see traces of the double yellow lines – trucked in from a highway resurfacing project up the road at Corris.

The site will also have keyless entry with 24/7 access, an advanced booking system with monitored CCTV and an intercom with a link to the head office in Denbigh so new customers can sign up and start storing.

The site will be run by Lock Stock Regional Manager for North West Wales, Lee Hanson, who said: “We’re breaking new ground with our move into Ceredigion, and Aberystwyth is an ideal site for us.

“This is a university town, and there’s a definite need for storage here with a large student population and plenty of small businesses, and we’re right next door to the train station.

“Small businesses and tradespeople operate throughout Aberystwyth and we offer a flexible and more affordable storage solution. They can easily call in at the start of the working day to pick up the materials they need, and with 24/7 access to their secure units, we find this fits perfectly around those who use us.

“They’re also ideal for students who may need short-term storage, particularly at the end of the university year in the summer and before they return to Uni in the autumn.”

The company has a history of sponsoring local sports teams and partnering with schools, charities and community groups to make a difference, and wants to do the same in Aberystwyth.
