World Animal Day 2021

Every year on the 4th of October, the world comes together to raise awareness in order to improve the welfare standards of all animals.

We had a blast with our World Animal Day Flag!


We wanted to get involved as a team of animal lovers, so we decided to run an animal selfie competition to help raise awareness for the cause. (We also thought it would be a great way to get plenty of cute animal pics!)

We teamed up with easyDogwalker, and PetShop.co.uk. As keen animal loving businesses, they both were keen to get involved! The PetShop.co.uk kindly offered to donate a £75 voucher for the winner to be used on their online store. Then the members of easyGroup easyDogwalker and ourselves, agreed to team up and donate to the official sponsor of World Animal Day, the Naturewatch Foundation.

We even got a helping paw from my dog Leo who became the model for the campaign and enjoyed his day meeting the team as well as getting to explore a whole easyStorage van!

World Animal Day even got in contact to request a picture of Leo modelling a special bandana and the flag too.

We thought, rather than keeping all of these adorable pictures to ourselves, we thought we would share our top submission of some lovely furry friends and at the end you can even meet the winner in a special video!

Sir Stelios got involved with the picture paw-fect Jackie!

Millie and Hettie sent a photo in because they know animal welfare should be a golden rule for everyone

These two ginger cuties were more than happy to pose for a picture on a sunny day

The very pretty Evie put on her high vis vest to match Leo's

Evie is wondering why anyone would argue that animals (especially cats) are not the best

Sam, proudly wearing her easyStorage fleece, found a neigh-bour who was very happy to pose

Horseriding is easy - right?!

Lyra's favourite sleeping spot is right on Dads notebook, especially when he wants to use it

Spencer and Molly are always happy to don the easyOrange for a quick photoshoot

Molly is barking mad about easyStorage

Conrad sent in a lovely photo of Fred's favourite sleeping position

Fred says it's purr-fectly comfortable

Founder Tim found a very interesting animal that he seemed to identify with for some reason...

Two bald eagles

This had to be one of our most interesting submissions

People really do go nuts for easyStorage

One of our loaders entered with a gorgeous cat who is not camera shy

There is cat trapped in your screen and it looks just like me

Joanna knew that her dog always has a smile for helping his fellow animal friends

Could he be smiling any more?

And FINALLY...

Watch the video for a few more submissions and for the winner to be revealed!

Well done to our winner: Rehan and her lovely dog Harley. Thank you to everyone who took part, we really appreciate every single person who got involved!

Self-Storage: A Solution for Business Expansion

One of the signs that your business is doing well and going in the right direction is when there is a need for expansion or extension as your current set up can no longer accommodate the stocks and/or supplies your business should have to continue and keep up with its operations. Obviously, the next thing you will do is to look for a place as a solution to your growing business. This is a challenge every growing business is facing. Why? Because it also means expenses. A lease or rent is, of course, an expenditure. So, a business manager should carefully look for the right place for expansion/extension and consider the amount of money to spend on lease or rent. According to statista.com, “The cost of office space in London is the highest in Europe.” The cost can really be overwhelming, right?
