Our story

It all started in the late 70s.

After a few Paddington house flips, best friends Mike Hodges and Tom Saunders managed to buy the Pickering Street site in 1985, where Enoggera Self Storage Brisbane sits today.
 

Their successful partnership and friendship has been running for half a century, a pretty unique commodity in this current world. Mike & Tom run their business with respect and loyalty, two values at the forefront of everything they do.
 
Those who do business with Tom and Mike often do so for many years. Case in point is Enoggera Self Storage’s day-to-day manager who began working for Mike’s pine furniture business straight out of school, eventually taking over the business in the early 2000s.
 
The original Pine Factory was housed on site at Pickering Street from 1982 until the late 2000s, when the Brisbane designed and manufactured furniture company simply could not compete with cheaper imports from overseas, and the business closed its doors. This closure though, made way for the first section of Enoggera Self Storage Brisbane which opened at Pickering Street in 2010.
 
Recently this family run business has welcomed the next generation, with Mike’s daughter, Tori, joining the business to handle the website and social media.

If you call Enoggera Self Storage Brisbane or pop into the office, Karen, our friendly office manager will be more than happy to help you with any storage queries or bookings.

Thanks for supporting our local, family run business.
