Site Tour
The Space Program, Swindon
Headed up by award-winning Mission Controller, Andre, the Swindon Space Program has been rocketing to success since opening in May 2019. Andre is a former winner of the Self Storage Association UK’s Manager of the Year in 2021.
With excellent reviews on Google and Trustpilot, the Swindon Space Program aims to provide self storage with customer service that’s out of this world! Situated conveniently next to B&Q in Swindon, the facility is a bustling hub for small businesses, house movers, and hobbyists alike. They offer flexible storage solutions at competitive prices, along with additional business services such as their popular Sign & Store service.
As the fourth self-storage facility opened by The Space Program, Swindon is part of their expanding galaxy of locations, with 7 facilities (soon to be 8) across the South West and Wales, and a brand new indoor storage facility soon to be opening at their Tewkesbury location.
This YSN event is complimentary for all YSN members thanks to our wonderful Sponsors.
Spaces are limited to 60 people.
