Many people across the country were delighted when they heard of the opportunity to invest in the new and exciting Store First Storage Pods. It was a concept like no other – sell the Storage Units to customers, and then they would be the ones to receive the rent (generally) as payments into their pensions.

Quentin Wilson (formerly of Top Gear) believed so much in this product that he went on TV to promote it. You can still find these videos on YouTube – not that we can share them here!

Store First convinced (via brokers such as Jackson Francis – again worth a google) thousands of Pension holders and investors that the value of their units would increase, by up to 8% per year, and that they would reap the benefits of the income for years to come.

Unfortunately, there was never really a ‘market’ for these types of units for them to make these kinds of assumptions, and as a result, as soon as any Storage Pod owners tried to sell, there were no buyers.

Investments that cannot be sold, are classed as ‘illiquid’ – now Store First storage pods are no different.
