The 50,000 sq ft site, a former office building will undergo a full transformation led by Hurstwood Holdings’ in-house property team. Once completed, the facility will offer a range of secure, modern lock-up units catering to both personal and business storage needs. Construction is due to commence immeidately, with the site scheduled to open by spring 2026.
Stephen Ashworth, FRICS Chairman and CEO of Hurstwood Holdings, commented:
“We are excited to be expanding our Lock It self-storage concept into East Lancashire, a purpose built facility and the first of its kind for the area. The demand for secure, flexible storage space remains consistently high, driven by newly adapted consumer habits and business needs. We’ve been very encouraged by the strong performance of our existing Lock It facilities in Wigan and Lancaster and having identified a major gap in the local market here, we see this new site as a natural next step in our continued growth and part of our long term commitment to delivering high-quality, accessible storage solutions across the UK.”
This will be the third Lock It location, forming a core part of Hurstwood’s self-storage rollout plan. With long-term ambitions to establish a national footprint, Hurstwood Holdings is actively identifying further opportunities in key regional markets as part of its £350 million nationwide portfolio.
