National Declutter Week is upon us. Take some positive action now!

Today is the first day of National Declutter Week 2012, which runs until Sunday 18th March. So take the opportunity and have a good Spring Clean!

In an article recently published online, over eighty percent of people across the UK have too much clutter at home, according to a poll by Storage.co.uk.

The main barriers stopping people from having a good clear out is lack of time and feeling they have better things to do, suggesting they struggle to put the task high on their list of priorities. In some cases, clutter can really get out of control and become a bigger issue in people’s lives. For around one in ten people clutter is damaging their relationships with others, affecting their health and sometimes having a negative effect on the amount of money they have.

RedSpot Self Storage asks all home owners, renters or for that matter businesses to have a good think about finding a better use for surplus stuff cluttering up your living/work spaces during National Declutter Week which runs from 7 to 18 March. If its something that you don’t want to put in storage then consider a donation to one of our local charities at www.sofaproject.org.uk or www.emmausbristol.org.uk  which both represent a great cause in our community.

Happy Customer!

I have used RedSpot twice now and have nothing but praise for the service I received.Very competitive rates,central location with 24/7 access and the convenience of loading/unloading directly into the container. Which was clean, secure and watertight. George, the manager was more than helpfull on both occasions and I would recommend this facility without hesitation.

Reduce your rental bills - Consider a sublet of your business space

As a provider of Self Storage in Bristol, we are regularly asked by our business clients about the availability of office space to rent.

Have you considered subletting your own business space?

One way of responding to difficult trading conditions is to reduce operating costs, and a great way to achieve this is to sublet surplus office space. Alternatively if you haven’t got surplus space make it by placing stock or equipment into a storage unit and freeing up more valuable space to rent out to a third party at a profit.

A studio unit in the Paintworks development at Arnos Vale, Bristol was recently advertised for lease. Taking this example, through the use of storage space to create your own surplus office space there exists the potential to provide at least an £8000 saving over the first 12 months!

Throw in additional services with the office rent (such as support services, parking etc) and you will be able to make some serious savings.

There are an abundance of small businesses operating throughout the Bristol area. If you haven’t got space, use storage to create it and attract these businesses to your premises and add value to your own bottom line!

Well Done
