Where can drinks founders store pallets of empty bottles or small equipment inventory in the UK?

Members have found practical storage solutions for both pallets and compact inventory. **Vanguard Soho** is recommended for London-based founders needing flexible, rolling storage—they offer "phonebox-sized" spaces for small collapsible bars and other equipment, with larger options also available. One member mentioned using **a warehouse in Reading** for pallet storage of empty bottles, though location matters significantly depending on where you're based. For very compact storage needs, Vanguard Soho's smaller units have proven suitable for founders with minimal space requirements (around 2m in width). The key advantage of Vanguard is the rolling basis arrangement, which suits early-stage founders without long-term commitments. Members recommend checking location availability and contacting Vanguard directly to discuss your specific storage needs and volumes.
