Archive Storage in Cambridge
Archive storage is secure, off-site storage for business documents, files and records that need to be kept but don’t require daily access. Rather than filling valuable Cambridge office space with filing cabinets and document boxes, your records are stored safely off-site and retrieved on demand.
With Simply Store, everything is collected directly from your Cambridge premises – there’s nothing for you to transport.
