Introducing our brand new logistics service

We have now had two weeks on the road with our brand new vans from Maxi Mover brilliantly wrapped by the team at Rushden Graphics . We look forward to developing our fleet of vehicles over the next 18 months as we grow the logistics side of our work. We have delivered goods for Fragrant Harbour to the length and breadth of England thanks to our amazing crew of Gary and Oscar. We welcome two new faces next week to the team - more to come then.

Developing our storage solutions for Fragrant Harbour Logistics

We are creating a brand new storage solution to power the import work of Fragrant Harbour

Thank you to Hardlife Utilities we have been working on a new warehousing solution for the imports from Hong Kong. We have invested in a new industrial tent which we have been installing in between the rain showers. Today (Monday 3rd February) is the day we finish pulling the main canvas over the structure. We have been very glad of the support from Jake at Hardlife Utilities who has given us some useful tips during the installation process.

What is the meaning of Hong Kong?

StoreMe is diversifying

Did you know that the translation of Hong Kong is Fragrant Harbour?

Although the origin of the name “Fragrant Harbour” can only be speculated, there are two theories that try to explain how and why the name came about. “Fragrant Harbour” may have referred to the sweet and fragrant waters of the Pearl River or the sweet smell of agarwood that is popular on the island.

Our new collaboration with Hong Kong

StoreMe is expanding and diversifying; developing a new logistics arm to power the growing import and export business of Fragrant Harbour Logistics . It's exciting times for both of our companies and we are looking forward to an amazing collaboration with Fragrant Harbour run by Leslie and Mike. We have been providing their warehousing space here at Nest Farm for well over sixth months now, but this month (January 2025) sees the next big step in our new venture together. The construction of the new industrial tent from Hardlife Utilities to increase our storage capacity is well underway and should be complete by the start of February. We will then be in a position to support not only the import activity of Fragrant Harbour Logistics - the plan is to develop the business to incorporate export and local moves for Hong Kongers in the UK.

We look forward to sharing with everyone our journey as we work in partnership to service the needs of the Hong Kong community in the UK.

Providing Olney with a new, multipurpose, indoor, self-storage facility, we’re now open and the storage units behind those bright green doors are being put to good use!

With the Self-Storage Association having recently said that the use of self-storage was up by almost 9% last year, we’re delighted to be filling the gap in the market in the local area. It’s great to see how popular our service is already proving, with customers now in store in Olney and from Milton Keynes.

Storing your belongings in a facility that’s close to you saves time, money, and unnecessary stress. Here’s a few tips for how to make the most of your storage space:

Store with care

With a bit of care and preparation, packing before moving your items into store needn’t be a nightmare.

Clean items, such as clothes and appliances, before storing them – any dirt can turn into mould!
Label everything and use good quality, correctly sized packing materials
Yes, it’s an obvious one, but don’t store heavier boxes or items on top of lighter ones
Take time to wrap fragile items in bubble wrap, individually
Pack everything with care – even books and clothes can endure damage. Flat pack books to avoid spine damage and store clothes in a hanging wardrobe
Protect larger items such as sofas bed frames wardrobes with transit blankets
Boxes should be square, flat and not bulging at the sides, for easy stacking
Fill any gaps in boxes with something soft and light, like scrunched up packing paper
Pack light items, such as cushions and pillows, into larger boxes, and heavier things, such as toasters, kettles, and large crockery into smaller boxes

How to store

It’s important to store things in your unit as efficiently as possible.

Keep frequently used items at the front
Stack to the ceiling
Organise your items and keep similar possessions together
Disassemble furniture – remembering to keep all the screws and bolts together!
Create an aisle with a clear path down the centre

By following these steps you’ll be spared from having to do extra work when it comes to searching for certain items. You might also find that you’ll be able to save money by renting a smaller unit.

Next up, we’ll be looking at how self-storage can help you to do your bit for the environment in reducing your carbon footprint. Watch this space!
