Angus started working with his brother and business partner Simon back in 1996. For the first 2 years he helped build a successful car park business (see below) which had at one stage 8 car parks operating in Chelsea / West End / Fitzrovia in Central London. He continued to help with the strategic development of the expanding car park business whilst starting, in 1998, to build a successful self-storage business. Angus was responsible for site finding, deal negotiating, fitting out, marketing and running all aspects of the storage business. With a total of five stores at major sites in Central London and the South East there was also boutique storage locations within our managed car park portfolio which allowed additional revenue generation from underutilised space at these locations. Angus has been an active Member of the SSA (Self-storage Association of UK) having chaired the ‘Smaller Operators Division’ as well as sitting on the Board of Directors for 5 years and holding the role of Association Treasurer for 2 years (now retired). Angus is now fully focused on driving Metro Storage forwards and has great expectations of growing the business in the coming years whilst maintaining its well known very high levels of customer satisfaction.
Simon started his career back in 1992 when the economic climate was tough. Despite this he started on his own in the Central London car park business and between 1992 and today he has been responsible for the overall direction and management of a total of 30+ car parks (both leasehold and management agreements) in central London and across the UK. Simon also managed a high profile petrol filling station business in the heart of Chelsea from 1996 to 2009. He has also worked with his brother and business partner, Angus, during this time in helping with the strategic development of the self-storage business mentioned above. He has years of experience in both the parking and storage markets and has enviable contacts to help move the Metro Storage business model forward.
of starting and running businesses in both the self-access storage and parking markets and with Metro Storage they have combined these two skill sets to put self storage into centrally located but under performing car parks in Central London.
