When Vanguard Self Storage opened its Bath branch, the team anticipated steady growth and a warm welcome from the community, but what unfolded during the first six months surpassed all expectations. Looking back, the branch’s opening chapter has been defined by rapid expansion, enthusiastic customer support, and a series of achievements that have already set new standards within the company.
Strong Growth From Day One
During its first half-year of operation, Vanguard Self Storage Bath welcomed more than 200 new customers, quickly establishing itself as a trusted storage solution for residents, businesses, and students across the city. The momentum continued, and in June, the branch achieved a company-wide record for the most customer sign-ups in a single month. For a new site, this was a standout moment, and a clear indicator that Bath’s demand for high-quality storage was strong and growing.
Customer feedback echoed this positive start. Within the six months, the branch received more than 120 five-star Google reviews, reflecting the team’s commitment to service, cleanliness, and security. As a result, Google AI designated Vanguard as the top-rated self storage provider in Bath, further solidifying the branch’s strong reputation early on.
A Facility That Captured Attention
If you haven’t visited, one of the defining features of the Bath branch is its iconic hanging Vampire jet, suspended in reception and fast becoming a landmark in its own right. Throughout its first six months, the plane attracted aviation enthusiasts from across the UK, many of whom visited the branch specifically to see it. This unique installation helped position Vanguard Self Storage Bath as a destination with a distinctive identity and story.
Community Connections Built Early
Like with all of Vanguard Storage’s branches, community involvement sat at the forefront of the Bath site’s early priorities. In its first six months, the team took part in and supported several local initiatives, including:
- Encouraging donations for the Vanguard Self Storage Bristol charity cycle ride - helping raise awareness and funds for two local and worthwhile causes
- Partnering with organisations such as Ripple Effect, supporting their work to empower farming communities in eastern Africa
- Collaborating with Bath Rental, which manages Airbnb properties across the city, offering flexible storage to support local tourism and short-term accommodation providers
These early partnerships played a key role in shaping Vanguard Bath’s community presence and demonstrated the team’s ambition to integrate meaningfully into local life.
Looking Ahead
The first six months served as a launchpad for everything that follows. With strong customer demand, an engaged local audience, and several community initiatives already underway, Vanguard Storage Bath is now focused on building even more momentum in its next phase of growth.
