Removals into storage with Hackworthy & Sons and SP Cocks

Wednesday 1st July 2015

To develop on the Hackworthy removals brand, Plymouth Self Storage was born as a sister company to Hackworthy & Sons. We noticed that there was room in the South West for a self-storage company who offered a full range of business and personal storage, not to mention student storage, office space and archiving, along with other business services!

Hackworthy began leasing and then bought our 32,000 square foot central site just on the outskirts of the city centre, to give the best access to routes in and out of Plymouth. Then we quickly developed the Plymouth Self Storage brand and launched a second storage site too. Just on the outskirts of the A38 this time with a capacity of 35,000 square foot! We pride ourselves on the security of effects at all times so a purpose built company joining the Hackworthy empire was the perfect decision.

Hackworthy and SP Cocks are two thirds of this successful family business with Hackworthy & Sons initially starting as a parcel courier firm, delivering goods safely to their destination. The only thing that’s really changed is the type of the items being couriered! Hackworthy noted in 1976 that in order for the business to continue to grow they must diversify and offer different services so in that same year they began moving furniture and it naturally turned into offering a removal service. All over the South West Hackworthy were moving families, couples and just about everyone into new homes, flourishing in the market and becoming one of the most trusted and well-respected removal firms in the area. To this day, Hackworthy still are.

Similar to Hackworthy, our other sister company SP Cocks is a trusted removal business in Cornwall who has always been a leader in its market. SP Cocks built a great reputation that it continues to build to this day by offering great service and value for money!

We made the link from removals into storage because it became apparent that storing unwanted items, delicate items or even duplicate items was necessary. We can offer storage solutions for customers who want to decorate their new home before they fill it with extra furniture for example or we can offer a ‘de-clutter’ service – storing your excess furniture so you can fully show off your home to encourage a sale. Short-term or long-term storage, whatever the size unit, we can offer you a removals or transport solution! Just call us, Hackworthy or SP Cocks to discuss your requirements.
