Episode 2
Host Chris and Simon Forrester (CEO, SSA UK) sit down with three of Kuboid’s self storage operators from very different backgrounds: Roger Canham (Smartbox Self Storage), Luke Davis (StoreFort), and father-son duo Keith and Will Strivens (Gatewick Farm Storage).
Hear how each stumbled into the industry and scaled from a single container to multi-site operations. The conversation covers accidental beginnings, the real-world challenges of commercial finance and construction, and refreshingly low-cost, high-impact local marketing ideas (from open-day treasure hunts to on-site coffee shops). A candid, practical listen for anyone weighing up their own leap into self storage.
