About Us

Self Storage Investments is a company that was commenced in 2012. Simon formerly worked for Kennards Self Storage in Acquisitions and Development and gained significant experience and understanding of Self Storage whilst working with the Kennards Family.

Simon observed that there were many investors and investment groups who were wanting to enter the Self Storage Industry however there were few independent service providers to assist them into the self storage asset class. Some investment groups had property expertise, however, they had no specific Self Storage experience to draw upon.

Simon left Kennard’s and formed a company that creates Self Storage investment opportunities for private property groups, investment clubs and individuals. The business also provides consulting services to those that require it.
