The Big Yellow Group is a self-storage company based in Bagshot, England.[2] It is the largest self-storage company in the United Kingdom and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index and listed on the London Stock Exchange.[3] Big Yellow has the highest brand awareness in the sector.[4]

History

Founded in 1998 by Nicholas Vetch, Philip Burks and James Gibson, the company has, as of 2021, 104 storage sites in UK,[1][5][6][7] 19 of which operate under the name Armadillo Self Storage. Philip Burks served as the property director of the company from 1998 to 2007.[8]

In 2007, the company was converted into a real estate investment trust[9] and later that year entered into a partnership with funds managed by Pramerica Real Estates Investors to develop another 25 stores in the Midlands, the North of England and Scotland.[7][10]

Established in 2017, The Big Yellow Foundation is dedicated to supporting vulnerable people, such as ex-offenders, refugees, ex-service personnel and people living with disabilities to find employment and create a better future for themselves[11].

In 2003, Graham Coutts sexually assaulted and murdered against Jane Longhurst. Initially he kept the body in his flat in Hove, but then moved it into a storage unit at Big Yellow in Brighton.[12] Unit C50 was permanently sealed as a mark of respect to Jane Longhurst.[13]
