Small Business Thriving Despite Economic Gloom

June 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Despite a gloomy economic outlook many small businesses in the UK remain confident of weathering the economic downturn and are determined to build a long-term future through creativeness, flexibility and sheer hard work. With around 4.8 million small businesses in the UK, they have a significant impact on the economy all across the country and collectively produce more than half Britain's wealth (GDP). And, whilst the economy remains depressed, business confidence in the first quarter of 2012 had increased since the last quarter of 2011, and, according to the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), 40% of small companies plan to grow during the next year.

There are many small companies that are thriving despite the recession and their owners remain confident and passionate about the success of their businesses. Research by O2 revealed British small businesses to be fiercely independent, resilient and determined to influence their own future, with many believing they can do a better job than larger organisations.

Storing.com, a family-run self-storage company based in Bedfordshire, is one such company - built on a sound business model they have been able to adapt to the changing economic circumstances with little impact on the day-to-day running of their company and to their employees.

Guy Burridge, Director of Storing.com, remarked "Our out-of-town location means we can offer high-quality facilities and service to London businesses at significantly lower prices than storage facilities based in London. In these times of economic uncertainty this means Storing.com has continued to thrive and we are confident of our future growth. We have built up a strong foundation over the past 10 years which will help us to continue to focus on great customer service and good value. Demand for storage for London businesses continues to increase as expensive office space puts a strain on budgets and I don't see this trend changing in the foreseeable future."
