“We have used Pound Gates consistently for the last 10 years. During that time we have had the pleasure of being taken care of by almost solely Viv and Neil. They are a genuine pleasure to work with and nothing is ever too much trouble. On the few occasions we have dealt with other staff members – the experience has been equally as positive. It really is a breath of fresh air to have a supplier that go about their business with great efficiency and genuinely want to help its customers. I would have absolutely no problems recommending Viv, Neil and the team at Pound Gates.”
The Storage Team
“Big Yellow Self Storage first started working with Pound Gates in 2007. Throughout this time their support for our business has been first class; the service to our stores and customers has been excellent; and value for money has been consistently improved through continual dialogue and negotiation with our insurers. We are now offering a better insurance product – at a better price – than we had in 2007.”
Big Yellow Group plc
“From the start, Pound Gates have been a breath of fresh air when I was starting up my business. Their staff are informative, professional and saved me time and money at the time I needed it most.”
The Manchester Self Storage Company
“We recommend Pound Gates to operators in the container hire and self-storage industry. They know what they’re talking about and really take time to understand your business. You’ll have a contact who knows you and your business who, in our experience, always deliver what has been promised. We took a year away from Pound Gates and ended up with an uninsured claim. Never again. We are delighted to have moved back.”
