Secure Off-Site Document Storage Solutions
Established in 1996, we have built a reputation for secure, reliable document storage and management. Our journey began in farming before diversifying into storage solutions, and since 2004, under Managing Director Andrew Gunningham, we have expanded to three warehouses in Weston-super-Mare. We prioritise individualised service, tailoring storage solutions to meet each client's unique needs while maintaining a commitment to efficiency and environmental responsibility. Our warehouses feature advanced security systems, climate control, and barcode tracking to ensure document safety. We offer same-day delivery, free box replacements, and a 99.9% punctuality record for collections and deliveries.Our scan-on-demand service provides secure online access to stored documents, reducing physical handling and environmental impact. We adhere to strict confidentiality protocols for document destruction, including certified shredding and recycling. With a focus on sustainability, we recycle 100% of paper, plastic, and metal waste and optimise energy use across operations. Our membership in the Records Management Society and the Society of Archivists underscores our industry credibility. As we grow regionally, our core principles remain unchanged: client-centric service and operational excellence.

Services
Physical Storage
We offer secure off-site storage in climate-controlled warehouses with 41,000 sq ft capacity across three locations. Our insulated facilities maintain optimal humidity levels with 24-hour CCTV monitoring, intruder alarms, and BT Redcare signalling. Each storage box receives individual barcode tracking to prevent misplacement, with dedicated racking ensuring exclusive storage space for client materials.
Scan on Demand
Our scan-on-demand service converts stored documents into secure PDFs accessible via encrypted web portals. This eliminates physical delivery requirements, offering instant access to single documents or entire boxes. The process maintains confidentiality through password-protected accounts while reducing transportation emissions. Clients may request unlimited scans with no minimum or maximum file limits.
Secure Destruction
We provide certified destruction of documents after statutory retention periods. All materials undergo 1.5mm cross-cut shredding with comprehensive tracking from receipt to disposal. Clients receive official destruction certificates for compliance purposes. Our process includes component separation for maximum recycling, with 100% of paper, plastic and metal waste diverted from landfill through verified recycling channels.
