Basil Fry and Store and Secure Limited sign a three year agreement.

Basil Fry and Store and Secure Limited have recently signed a three year agreement that ties up their partnership until 2014. Store and Secure Limited is the new self storage facility opened by Brian Maidman in Bournemouth and managed by his daughter Lucy.

According to Greg Wildman, Director at Basil Fry, this was an interesting project. “Brian let us know early in the planning stages what he was going to do with Store and Secure Limited. The execution of the building project, managed by Active Supply and Design, was first class. From seeing the building as an empty shell to the end of phase it was really interesting and the end result is stunning.”

“The site is in an amazing location right next door to Castle Point Shopping Centre in Bournemouth and will undoubtedly fill up quickly. The staff have been motivated to concentrate on filling up phase one quickly and good progress has already been made.”

“Bob Tree (Basil Fry Director) and I are delighted that Brian has chosen Basil Fry to provide the insurance policies and execute the training programme that was required,” said Greg. “Bob and Peter Doman (Basil Fry Account Executive) have been responsible for this. Peter’s previous experience as a training consultant at a blue chip company was invaluable.”

Brian Maidman commented: “I was aware that Basil Fry have insured self storage sites for a number of years and after speaking to Bob Tree, I knew that I would be using the company to provide the coverage. Bob's understanding of the self store market and insurance requirements were critical in this decision and the training programme delivered by Bob to our staff was very detailed. The cover provided by Greg and written by the company's Self Storage Scheme provider, RSA, is excellent and free of many of the restrictions so common in these policies”

The sparkling new facility includes a two-tier mezzanine floor with fire protection, enclosed staircases, 122 self storage rooms to both the ground and first floor levels and a full electrical and security package to complement the works. The new facility will also house Maidmans’ successful removal business which was the first UK business to attain all three BSI quality standards for moving and storing.
