Exploring Storage Growth with Instant Space
We are Vanamango — a nationwide removals support network, working with a trusted portfolio of removals companies across the UK. With a growing number of clients relying on us to deliver smooth, secure, and professional moving services, we’re always looking at new ways to expand both our services and infrastructure.
As part of this ongoing growth, we’ve been carefully assessing options for increasing our storage capacity. One of the most promising routes has come through discussions with Staffordshire-based company, Instant Space. Specialists in high-quality modular buildings and storage solutions, they offer a flexible alternative to permanent warehouses — and it’s proving to be a very exciting opportunity.
What initially caught our attention is the surprising permanence of their so-called “temporary” buildings. While these structures are classed as temporary, they’re far from short-term in application. Designed to remain in place for years, even decades, these solutions bypass many of the planning restrictions that apply to traditional buildings — making them ideal for growing businesses like ours, who need space fast without unnecessary red tape.
We’re currently reviewing several of their units and configurations. The flexibility is genuinely impressive. From compact storage sheds to full-sized warehousing options, the structures come in a wide range of sizes and can be tailored to meet very specific needs. Whether we need basic storage for short-term overflow, or a much larger and more permanent fixture to support new regional hubs, Instant Space has potential solutions at every level.
Importantly, it’s not just about capacity — security is a top concern in our business, and it’s clear that Instant Space takes this just as seriously as we do. Each structure is fully lockable, with heavy-duty materials and reinforcements, and can be fitted with CCTV and security on every door and window. It gives us — and more importantly, our clients — the peace of mind that any items stored will be kept safe.
Another key benefit is scalability. As our removals partners across the UK continue to grow, we’re being asked more frequently about local storage options — and our ability to offer that has historically been restricted by available infrastructure. But with these kinds of modular solutions, we can respond much more quickly to local demand. We’re especially interested in exploring this across areas like Staffordshire, where client numbers are increasing and the opportunity to establish more presence on the ground is very real.
For those in our industry, we think the value of temporary storage like this is often overlooked. It’s not just a stopgap — it’s a real, long-term solution that gives us more control and more flexibility. Instead of committing to long leases or large investments in permanent property, we can instead grow steadily and adapt as needed.
We’re still in the early stages of determining exactly how our future storage strategy will develop, but we can say confidently that Instant Space’s offering is one of the most compelling we’ve seen. Their approach aligns well with our values: efficiency, reliability, and readiness to scale without unnecessary compromise.
As our industry changes, and customer expectations rise, infrastructure will play a key role in staying competitive. Solutions like those offered by Instant Space don’t just help us keep up — they give us a path to lead.
