About Vanguard Self Storage
Vanguard Storage Services Ltd is a privately-owned and family-run self storage company. Vanguard was formed in August 1964 to provide Industrial Moving and Storage services. The family of one of the founding directors, Mac McCullagh is still in charge today. The business quickly grew and diversified into other related activities.
Through the 1970s, 80s and 90s, Vanguard were involved with some very high profile work, such as erecting the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree and facilitating the renovation of the Cutty Sark. Even Buckingham Palace called upon our services.
Many people will recognise our landmark building on Western Avenue in Greenford. Over the years, our prominent tower block has displayed many items including military aircraft, over-scaled furniture, a giant Father Christmas and even a London bus.
