Self-storage firm expands into Swindon

National company Cinch Self Storage is to open a site at the Cheney Manor Industrial Estate next year.

The new location will have 68,000 sqft of lettable space available for domestic and business customers.

Once operational, Cinch Storage Swindon will encompass more than 700 units available for use as self-storage rooms, workshops and retail units, as well as office spaces for companies of any size. 

Taken together, the company says, these spaces will help boost the local economy, attract businesses to the area, and drive local job creation. 

Company co-founder Richard Owen said: “We are delighted to be adding a new spacious site to our growing portfolio and bringing ourself-storage offering to residents and businesses in Swindon.
