The Board of Big Yellow Group PLC, the UK's leading self storage brand, is pleased to provide the following update on trading for the first quarter ending 30 June 2010.

Rental rates have increased year-on-year but are slightly down in the quarter due in part to a significant increase in the number of new customers who benefit from our standard opening offer.

Store update

  

During the period we opened one new store, a 60,000 sq ft store in High Wycombe, operating within Big Yellow Limited Partnership.

 

We intend to open a further two stores in the current financial year, Eltham in the wholly owned Group in March 2011 and Camberley in January 2011 within Big Yellow Limited Partnership.

 

 

  

James Gibson, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

"The Group has enjoyed a robust quarter with a particularly strong June.  We expect reasonable trading over the next few weeks before the usual seasonal slowdown from September.

 

External influences remain uncertain, and we have limited visibility around the trading, but we continue to be cautiously encouraged by the recent performance.

  

Part of the improvement can be put down to better trading conditions in our prime city locations and in part continuing innovation in sales and marketing leveraging off our strong brand leadership."
