Is this your Gnome?
Abandoned gnome looking to be reunited with his owner
Robert Symon, Manager of Jumbo Storage at Leek Road Hanley is appealing for someone to come forward and claim a lost gnome.
He was discovered abandoned on a ledge at the company's storage facility in Hanley and is believed to have been left behind
by a customer collecting their goods after a period in storage.
The homeless gnome could belong to a Stoke City supporter as he is dressed in red and white with the Britannia logo across his
shirt. Jumbo manager, Robert who has been a Stoke City supporter all his life says: "I am very fond of gnomes and I have
called this lost little chap "Mr Pulis" until we can trace his owner".
Anyone with any information about the lost gnome should contact Robert at Jumbo Self Storage, 292 Leek Road, Hanley, telephone 0800 0126 400 where he
is being well looked after.

Adult Children Moving Back Home
Young people returning home turn to self storage as an interim solution to housing problem
Both Hanley and Tunstall storage facilities have reported a surge in storage demand from 20 – 30 year olds returning home to live with their parents.
Many young people faced with unmanageable debts, redundancies and a difficult housing market can no longer afford their own homes.
The company says these customers are storing their belongings at Jumbo Self Storage until the economy recovers.
Most parents are supportive and happy for their children to move back in with them on a temporary basis, which has created a young demand for our smaller sized
store rooms where young people can put their belongings in safety until such times as conditions improve.
Mr. Robert Symon, General Manager at the self storage company, says "Jumbo Storage is a local family company, and we are pleased to give whatever help we can to anyone experiencing difficulties".

Increasing Document Storage At Jumbo Storage
Self storage of documents on the increase since credit crunch
Computerisation promised us the paperless office which has never really arrived for
most companies, resulting in a need to store increasing amounts of archive files,
documents and other important paper work.
Rather than having 'dead' files taking up premium office space, many companies are now looking to
Jumbo Storage for their secure document storage.
Each customer's documents etc. are carefully placed in secure individual lockable
compartments to which only the customer has access. Custom built racking, document
boxes and free collection can be arranged if required.
General Manager at Jumbo, Mr Robert Symon, says: "Customers can store for as long or
short a term as they require. You pay only for the amount of
space used and you also benefit from free access at any time during normal business
hours." Mr. Symon has noticed that enquiries from business users at Jumbo Self Storage have increased
as the credit crunch is starting to make life more difficult and space becomes more valuable.
Speak to our knowledgeable, friendly staff at Jumbo Storage at Tunstall on 0800 0126 401 or at Hanley
on 0800 0126 400 now to find out more. Save space - safe storage!

Jumbo Self Storage Xmas Toy Appeal
in association with "Little Ducks"
In this day and age we take it for granted that Christmas is a plentiful time for everyone and we tend to forget the under privileged or vulnerable children out there who are not so lucky.
Jumbo Self Storage is teaming up with "Little Ducks" charity in an effort to make a real difference to these children by providing Christmas toys.
Local businesses and retailers together with private individuals are asked to donate New or Nearly new toys which can be dropped off at the Jumbo Self Storage warehouse on Leek Road, Hanley or at Scotia Road, Tunstall (opposite Asda).
General Manager at Jumbo Self Storage, Robert Symon, comments that all donations will be carefully stored in our warehouse ready for distribution prior to Christmas by "Little Ducks".
The recipients of the appeal with include children of all ages up to 16, as well as children at the younger end of the spectrum so in addition to toys for younger children the appeal is looking for gift donations which would be of interest to teenagers including cosmetics, fashion items etc for girls.
Jumbo Storage warehouses are open from 8am – 6pm on weekdays and 8am-4pm on Saturdays. Telephone 01782 263388.
