Understanding planning, enabling business growth
FTSE 250-listed Safestore is the UK’s largest provider of self-storage, with over 140 locations providing flexible personal storage and space for businesses to grow across the country.
Camargue supports Safestore across its portfolio to develop and protect its estate. Working with the business development and asset management team, we provide focused local community and political engagement campaigns in the pre-application and construction phases – helping secure planning consents for new stores across the country.
We’ve supported Safestore to considerably expand its portfolio over the past decade, securing planning permissions for new facilities across the length and breadth of the country, in places like Leeds, Norwich, Woking and Shoreham.
Our team has also delivered tailored strategic communications activity to protect Safestore’s trading and property interests in areas including Camden and Lewisham.
Our success lies in our ability to adapt our approach, delivering efficient engagement programmes that align with the project and respond to the local context.
We build and sustain relationships, turn sceptics into supporters, and secure positive planning outcomes. We have also helped Safestore to profile its growing portfolio through coverage in trade and local media, supporting investors’ confidence.
We’ve also provided the business with intelligence on local government clean air policy across several major UK cities including Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Glasgow – and have facilitated engagement with Bristol City Council’s leadership around the impact of new air quality measures on the local business community in the region.
