A Poole storage company is offering free space for people to wrap their presents this Christmas.

Store & Secure, which has a magnificently-themed festive entrance at ‘Joyce House’, wants to send a little cheer. The huge facility in Hamworthy is run by the ‘storage sisters’ Lucy and Sophie Maidman who understand the need for wrapping space. Lucy commented:

“Some storage businesses are anonymous with very little personal contact between staff and customers. We are different and love people popping in for a cup of tea and a chat. The kettle is always on and mince pies are at the ready."

“We also decided to offer a space for wrapping Christmas presents - without charge. There are rooms available where people can spread out and get it all done. We know all too well how helpful it is to have a place away from home where presents can be wrapped. Children are extremely good at finding things that parents have hidden."

“Again we’re grateful for our customer Josie Murgatroyd of Little Dreams Events for sprucing up our entrance.”
