Moving To Wetherby
Situated at the far north east of the county of West Yorkshire, Wetherby is still part of the Leeds Metropolitan Borough despite being over 10miles away from Leeds city centre. On the banks of the River Wharfe, the name Wetherby is supposed to translate as the “settlement on the bend of a river”. Wetherby is famous as a post on the Great North Road as a midway point between London and Edinburgh. Now the charming town is bustling with new flats and restaurants, but it also gives its name to the classic fish and chip restaurant “The Wetherby Whaler”.

Jodie and Sarah were fantastic. They managed to sort out a storage unit for me straight away and even stayed after they should have shut to help me out. I would have been absolutely stuck if they hadn’t gone the extra mile.
It’s rare these days to get that level of service. MASSIVE thank you.
Really good service and would recommend them without hesitation
The staff are friendly and helpful (Huddersfield). My belonging are very safe and secure with loads of cameras and you can't enter without a person code. The storage rooms are nice and dry so all the stuff are safe from damp and mold ect.
I would definitely recommend and the price was great.
