Episode 5
Host Chris sits down with Simon Forrester (CEO, SSA UK), Steven Ramage (Membership Acquisitions Officer, SSA UK), and Paola Barraza (CEO, Fedessa) to explain what these regional and European self storage associations actually offer new and established operators. From legal support, disaster and crisis-PR guidance, and industry standards to networking events, WhatsApp communities, and the journey from subscriber to full accredited member, the panel unpacks why joining an association pays for itself many times over.
A practical listen for anyone weighing up membership costs against the real value of expert support, industry connections, and consumer trust.
