Pink Storage, the Welsh-born self storage company founded by Cardiff-based entrepreneur Scott Evans, has invested £1.5 million as part of its acquisition of StoreWise, a 102-unit facility in Nottingham.
Pink, which now operates 16 sites across Wales, is rapidly expanding into major cities in England as part of its mission to become the UK’s fastest-growing independent self storage provider. So far in 2025, the company has grown by 22 per cent, adding new locations in Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester, Birmingham, and now Nottingham, with more sites already in the pipeline.
The deal saw Pink Storage acquire StoreWise for £1.1 million, with an additional £370,000 being invested to upgrade the 1.3-acre site, add 150 new storage units, and bring the facility in line with Pink Storage’s cutting-edge, technology-led standards.
Scott Evans, Founder and CEO of Pink Storage, commented: “Acquiring StoreWise is a proud milestone for us. What began as a small Welsh brand is now setting the standard for innovation in self storage. Our forward-thinking, tech-led model is not only reaching a wider market but is actively reshaping – and shaking up – the industry across the UK.”
The former StoreWise facility is undergoing a full rebrand with Pink’s distinctive identity and will remain fully operational throughout the upgrade, which includes:
- New surfacing and site improvements
- ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) for secure vehicle access
- 24/7 CCTV surveillance
- Fully digital access with secure PIN code entry via online sign-up
Pink Storage is also retaining the site’s long-serving manager, who brings over a decade of local industry expertise, and ensuring a smooth transition for the 100+ existing customers to its digital platform.
Scott concluded: “Our goal is to end 2025 with a significantly expanded network of strategically located sites across the UK. We’re actively seeking further acquisition opportunities and would welcome conversations with anyone considering selling their self storage business.”
