Judges of the award were impressed with the level of dedication, attention to detail and good customer service demonstrated by this self storage business all of which are family run.

Barn Store Isle of Wight provides a range of storage units for personal or commercial use. With genuine 24/7 access and a clear pricing structure finding a solution for your storage needs couldn’t be easier.

“I am absolutely delighted that Barn Store has won this prestigious award. The expanding group is dedicated to providing the best possible service to their customers when they need space and time in their lives.”

Founded in 2008
Barn Store is a self storage business that offers its product model as a franchise. Started in 2003 Barn Store has storage sites on eight farms across the UK, six in Hampshire, including founder Martin Bazeley’s own site, one on the Isle of Wight, one in Kent, one in Staffordshire and one in Dorset.

The business has seen 123,000 sq ft of buildings converted to offer 83,000 sq ft of secure storage and the group has a collective turnover of around £750,000 per year. It provides the equivalent of eight full time rural jobs. Farmers are able to diversify and re-use redundant farm buildings as storage sites.
