Looking for cheap and convenient self storage near Newport? Well look no further. The easyStorage franchise has just launched its Southern Wales branch and is now available to the residents and businesses of Newport. 

If it's the first time you find yourself in need of storage space.You’ve most likely fired up google, searched for storage units near me and been surprised to learn just how expensive traditional storage units and self storage solutions can be. The reason for this is usually due to the size and location of the storage unit building. Those big blue and yellow buildings you see scattered around town often pick locations close to their intended customers. Operating in these locations however usually doesn’t come cheap. The added costs of being in these areas are then passed down to the customer, pushing up the price of their storage. When you consider that you may also need to factor in the cost of hiring a van, the price can become eye watering quite quickly. On top of the hefty price tag you’ll also still need to pack all of your things into the van, drive it to the storage unit, move your stuff from the van to a trolley, navigate a maze of numbered doors before transferring all of your things into the storage unit and rushing back to return the van. At this point you might be asking yourself “surely there’s an easier way?”.The answer to that question is Yes, yes there is. 

The easyStorage approach to self storage does away with the big shiny blue and yellow buildings, expensive van hire and all the labor associated with traditional self storage.

If you’re based in Newport you’ll be glad to know that the easyStorage self storage system is now available in South Wales. With a proud history dating back to over 2000 years ago. Newports origins are as a Celtic settlement, located at the mouth of the River Usk, it has attracted visitors for centuries. Caerleon, just a few miles from Newport, was the site of a fortress of the 2nd (Augustan) Roman legion. The remains of the barracks, bath house and amphitheater in Caerleon are among the best preserved Roman military sites in Britain. Later Newport became a Norman settlement with Newport Castle being constructed in the 12th century to control access to the River Usk. The fortress as well as the recent discovery of  sea-going vessel remains suggest that Newport was a centre of industry and trade throughout the medieval period. Fast forward to the 19th century industrial revolution, Newport expanded rapidly from a small seaport town to one of the most important places in the country for coal export and steel production. Newport became known for its accessible modern docks. Trade flourished and further extension of the docks added to Newport’s reputation – in 1914 Newport shipped over 6 million tons of coal per year.

Modern Newport is celebrating 20 years as a city in 2022. In that time, the city has hosted major events, benefited from major investment and grown in terms of status and culture.
