Space Station is the longest established self storage company in the United Kingdom. The company was founded in 1983 by Alastair Caldwell, who was formerly team manager for the McLaren Formula 1 team, managing drivers such as James Hunt, Nelson Piquet and Emerson Fittipaldi. James Hunt won the Formula 1 World Championship in 1976. The first Space Station self storage site was in Colnbrook, Berkshire and the first Brentford store followed in 1984. Brentford Station, Isleworth and Slough (1997) followed, with the Uxbridge store opening in 2006. Space Station now has twenty-six staff working in five stores, with a total of 250,000 square feet of storage space.
