Basil Fry was delighted to attend this year’s Self Storage Association UK (SSA UK) Annual Conference, an event that once again brought together operators, suppliers and industry professionals from across the sector for a highly engaging and insightful few days.
The conference provided a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with clients, partners and peers, as well as to continue important conversations around the evolving risks and opportunities within the self-storage industry. The strong attendance and level of engagement throughout the event highlighted the continued growth and resilience of the sector.
As part of our continued support for the industry, Basil Fry was proud to sponsor the UK Independent Operator of the Year Award. The category showcased the high standards and innovation demonstrated by operators across the country, with an impressive shortlist including:
- HOLD Self Storage – King’s Cross
- Here Self Storage – Loughborough
- Hills Self Storage – Colchester
- Simple Self Store – Motherwell
Congratulations go to Here Self Storage, who were named this year’s winner — a well-deserved achievement recognising their commitment to excellence.
During the conference, Basil Fry also delivered a Risk Management session on Day 2, focusing on key considerations for self storage operators when reviewing their insurance arrangements. The session saw strong engagement, with attendees contributing to discussions around practical risk mitigation strategies and the importance of ensuring policies accurately reflect evolving business needs.
In addition to the main conference programme, the team enjoyed attending the Women in Storage Europe (WISE) event, which provided a valuable opportunity to connect with and celebrate the contributions of women across the industry.
The SSA UK Annual Conference continues to play an important role in bringing the sector together, encouraging knowledge sharing and strengthening professional relationships. Basil Fry is proud to support such a dynamic and collaborative industry and extends its thanks to the SSA UK team for delivering another successful event.
