Boardroom Bound – How to ‘Say No’ and Progress to the Boardroom

Branding isn't about design, it's about business and your bottom line. If you think branding is just logos and colours, you’re missing a key growth lever. In a market where everyone competes on price, branding is how you charge more, convert faster, and build loyalty.

Hosted by SSA UK CEO Simon Forrester, join us for our complimentary, monthly member's only update including the latest sector news. Complimentary for SSA UK and FEDESSA members.

This meeting, chaired by James John and led by Paul Levy and Arjun Mediratta from Rooks Rider Solicitors LLP – Wealth Management and Property, Commercial and Dispute Resolution Teams, respectively, explores the key legal and operational challenges facing self storage operators, landlords, and asset managers in an increasingly regulated environment. Drawing on experience advising UK and offshore clients in property and commercial disputes, they will outline practical steps to recover income, manage occupier risks, and maintain compliance.

This annual gathering of supplier members is your opportunity to engage with the SSA UK, learn about the latest industry trends/impacts, provide your feedback, and influence the future direction of supplier-to-operator activities.

We all know them; those customers where interactions just don’t flow like we want them to. Customers who seem agitated, abrupt or stubborn. In this Hot Topic session, we dive into this customer group to understand what drives behaviour like this, and which practical tools we can use to deal with them more effectively.

Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone shares them! Join the Young Storage Network this November for an unfiltered look at the self storage slip-ups that taught our industry’s seasoned operators their most valuable lessons.  From failing to prepare (and paying the price) to doing favours that backfire, or even accidentally selling the wrong customer’s goods - our panel will reveal their biggest blunders and what they’d do differently next time.

Join us for the next and final meeting of 2025, led by our Chair, Ali Goodwin. We will cover: Latest Container News - supply/factory prices/freight rates/exchange rates and planning for future purchases The rapid growth and expansion at Now Storage ClearRestore - how to revamp/maintain and improve containers at mature sites without needing to repaint or replace, which can be disruptive and costly Crime Update New container accessories update – External Lift for Container sites and Offset Twist Lock (offset corner casting for double stacking)

Join us for the final Regional Members' Networking Dinner of 2025 in Bristol, for an evening full of good food, great company, and a few drinks.
