Our Heritage

T Scott Morris Commercial

Scott Storage is a long established family business which takes great pride in its roots, and its commitment to combining traditional values with a thoroughly modern approach to service delivery.

The business was established in 1924 by the great grandfather of the current Directors, who are the fourth generation of the Scott family to run the company.

Scott Storage's first telephone number was '772' which has been retained to this day, but is now incorporated in the six-digit local number of 524772.

The company started life as coal merchants & removal contractors, and visitors to their offices can still see photographs of one of their original vehicles, an old Morris Commercial with the 772 telephone number as part of the livery.

Over the years the company diversified into various branches of the transport and haulage industry, including removals, furniture storage, haulage, general warehousing, commercial vehicle dealership, oil reclamation, international removals, world-wide shippers, and airfreight.

This experience and knowledge of the removal and storage industry enables us to give customers unrivalled advice on the best storage options to meet their needs.

Scott Storage now concentrate on offering secure, convenient and cost-effective self-storage solutions to the public and furniture removers who need to store furnishings, documents and other items for unlimited periods.

The service package includes fast retrieval, with same-day or next day delivery to the client's address.

In keeping with their ethos of embracing new challenges and opportunities the company is also focussed on offering a variety of modern data storage services, including computerised document management systems, destroy by date schedules, retention schedules and disaster recovery datasets.

Scott Storage enjoys high levels of repeat business from both long established and new clients who appreciate the company's very high levels of customer service, care and efficiency.

Part of that service ethos is to ensure that customers can always reach a member of the Scott Storage team who will resolve any questions or issues quickly and without fuss.

Security is a crucial aspect of the company's service provision. Household effects, documents and other items stored with Scott Storage are treated with the utmost respect.

The storage containers themselves are purpose-built (unlike steel ones), heavy duty, of the highest quality available on the market, and are damp, dust and vermin proof, which are major problems with storage using inferior quality solutions.

There are very high levels of security in operation, including storage in an externally gated, secure compound, and a range of 24/7 security measures which encompass extensive use of CCTV cameras.

Comprehensive insurance coverage is also provided by Scott Storage's specialist insurers.

So whatever the self-storage or archiving requirement, Scott Storage will continue to offer the best possible solution, by building on an 84-year long history of combining traditional family business values with up-to-the-minute, best practice service levels and deployment of state of the art technology, particularly in document scanning and storage.
