Gliderol Self Storage Solutions has appointed Martyn Dickinson as New Business Development Manager. Martyn will be working closely with Sales Director Graham Lomax to develop Gliderol’s business in the self storage manufacturing sector.
Martyn has a strong background in the construction industry. He has worked in the self storage industry covering the UK and Europe for many years, focussing on sales and contracts and has also been involved in many projects from small unit only fit outs, right through to complete turnkey projects.
“I am sure they will make an exciting team and take Gliderol Self Storage Solutions further into the market place as a high-quality self storage manufacturing and construction company,” said Managing Director Peter O'Loughlin.
Martyn said, "I consider Gliderol Self Storage Solutions as a company that has great products backed up by great customer service. Within the self storage industry, we are still seeing new entrants, which is encouraging. Self Storage is a very good investment business and has been very resilient in tough times. What I have seen over the last 18 months is existing operators starting to expand with 2nd or 3rd phases and also starting new projects. I would have to say the fit out market is not as buoyant in the UK as it was several years back, however the business in mainland Europe is quite healthy."
Martyn firmly believes self-storage will continue to grow in the UK and in mainland Europe, as more and more people start to understand the concept of self-storage. "It is still surprising to me the amount of people you talk to that still do not understand what self-storage is, or how they can use it, but as time goes on this will change."
