The secret to a successful self-storage business? Location.
With its strategic position in one of the West Midlands and UK’s fastest-growing towns, Ketley Point offers a compelling proposition for expansion opportunities in Telford.
Unbeatable connectivity
Ketley Point is located 1 mile from Junction 6 of the M54 motorway. Telford’s central position in the national road network is a significant advantage, and Ketley is poised to benefit. Ketley Point boasts exceptional road connectivity, with access to Junctions 4, 5, and 6 of the M54 motorway. The new industrial distribution warehouse is strategically located just 15 miles east of Shrewsbury, 17 miles northwest of Wolverhampton, and 35 miles north of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands conurbation.
For customers, this connectivity translates to ease of access. The site’s strategic location has already been recognised by other major brands, with ALDI completing a deal on the neighbouring unit, which will open in 2026.
A thriving local business economy
Self-storage is not just for residential use – it’s an essential service for businesses. Ketley’s location is perfect for attracting a dual-purpose clientele with the neighbouring Ketley Business Park and other local commercial enterprises.
From e-commerce startups needing inventory storage to tradespeople looking for a secure place to keep equipment and materials, a flexible, secure, storage solution is a critical part of operational efficiency.

The power of proximity
Ketley’s appeal as a self-storage location is linked to Telford’s ongoing growth strategy. As outlined in the ‘Telford & Wrekin Local Plan,’ the borough is committed to providing a significant number of new homes and vital infrastructure for the expanding community. With a clear focus on affordable housing, more individuals are moving, downsizing, and seeking flexible space to manage their belongings.
The sheer scale of the local workforce further underlines the potential. With around 350,000 people living within a 30-minute drive, Ketley offers a pool of both potential customers and skilled employees.
