The UK storage and warehousing industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by the boom in e-commerce and changing consumer behaviours. The self-storage market alone turns over more than £1 billion annually, while warehouse demand continues to surge as businesses seek flexible logistics solutions.
Online retail growth has fundamentally transformed supply chain requirements, with firms requiring more sophisticated storage and distribution facilities than ever before. This shift has created a robust market for both traditional warehousing operations and modern self-storage facilities, making now an opportune time to buy or sell in this sector.
Whether you are looking to acquire an established storage business or sell your warehouse operation while demand is high, contact us now to discuss your requirements.
Storage and warehouse businesses can operate under different property arrangements, each offering distinct advantages depending on your investment strategy and operational goals.
A freehold storage or warehouse business includes both the operation and the property. This provides complete control over the premises but typically requires a substantial capital investment to complete the acquisition.

Leasehold storage and warehouse businesses operate from rented premises, requiring lower initial investment. Upon acquisition, you will either assume the existing lease terms or negotiate new arrangements with the landlord.
“The storage and warehouse sector is benefiting from structural changes in retail and logistics. Whether you are capitalising on this growth through acquisition or exit, we can help with strong valuations and sustainable returns.”
Matthew Brannon
Director
