Industry: Self storage
Founded by childhood friends Max Wilson and Louis Arron, Pocket Storage is poised to disrupt the self-storage industry. The genesis of Pocket Storage stemmed from a simple, relatable problem — the sheer inconvenience of storing personal belongings in London. Wilson, a serial entrepreneur who successfully launched Spokesafe, and Arron, a property development expert, set out to create a self-storage solution that truly catered to the needs of modern Londoners.
Pocket Storage's core mission is to fix a broken system. Streamlining the entire process, they have eliminated the endless paperwork and confusing pricing that plague traditional self-storage companies. Their user-friendly online platform allows customers to find, book, and manage their storage space with ease. They've prioritised transparency and simplicity. Technology alone is not enough, so have invested in robust human support alongside their AI chatbots.
"We're also committed to addressing the issue of wasted urban space. Arron's property development background highlighted the vast amount of underutilised space in city centres. By repurposing these spaces, we're not only providing convenient storage solutions but also contributing to a more sustainable and efficient use of urban resources. We're finding those hidden pockets of space and giving them a new lease of life, making storage easier for our customers and greener for London," says Wilson.

Burger chain Five Guys flips debt with £185m refinancing
The burger chain Five Guys will this week announce a £185m refinancing as it seeks to expand its European estate in a challenging climate for restaurant operators.

Sources said the agreement was likely to be announced on Wednesday.

It also operates under the same corporate ownership structure in France, Germany and Spain, with its European operations in total employing about 9,000 people. ADVERTISEMENT The European business is a 50-50 joint venture between Freston Ventures - the investment vehicle of Sir Charles Dunstone, co-founder of The Carphone Warehouse - and the Murrell family which founded Five Guys in the US. It is now expected to seek to open a larger number of drive-thru restaurants in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. In a statement issued to Sky News, John Eckbert, Five Guys Europe's chief executive, said: "Securing additional debt capital at a more favourable rate in today's market is a significant accomplishment. "This £185m refinancing transaction is a testament to the strength of the Five Guys brand and our successful operational performance. "The latest capital injection will be instrumental in accelerating our expansion strategy." The deal comes as hospitality groups warn of an increasing challenge to survive following tax increases announced in Rachel Reeves's Budget last autumn, with chains such as Cote now exploring urgent sale processes in a bid to secure new investment.
