platform of 113 stores.  We have a pipeline of 0.9 million sq ft comprising
12 proposed self storage facilities.  The current maximum lettable area of
the existing platform is 6.7 million sq ft.  When fully built out the
portfolio will provide approximately 7.6 million sq ft of flexible storage

leasehold, with the remaining 1% short leasehold.  Currently by revenue 75%
of our stores are in London and its commuter towns, with the balance in larger
regional conurbations.

Our stores utilise state of the art technology for our digital and operating
platforms including security, and we focus on locating our stores in high
profile, accessible, main road locations.  We also focus on providing
excellent customer service, a highly engaged employee culture, and with a
significant investment in sustainability.
