All Boxed Self Storage Case Study: How CR2 Security Group Protects Six Self-Storage Facilities Across Wiltshire
October 20, 2026
CR2 Security Group supports All Boxed Self Storage across six locations, providing professional keyholding and alarm response services as part of a coordinated, multi-site security solution.
For self-storage operators, security is fundamental to the service they provide.
Customers place their trust in storage providers to safeguard their personal possessions, business stock, equipment and other valuable belongings. Maintaining secure facilities is therefore an essential part of operating a successful self-storage business.
All Boxed Self Storage operates multiple facilities across Wiltshire, including Salisbury, Melksham, Chippenham and Calne, which serves both domestic and commercial customers.
With six locations requiring professional security support, the organisation needed a dependable provider capable of delivering consistent standards across its portfolio.
CR2 Security Group provides a professional keyholding and alarm response service across six All Boxed Self Storage sites, supporting the protection of premises outside normal operating hours.
By working with one established local security provider, All Boxed Self Storage benefits from a coordinated approach to security, supported by CR2 Security Group's mobile security operations and knowledge of the local area.
The objective is straightforward:
Six locations. One trusted security provider. Consistent protection.
Operating multiple self-storage facilities presents a different set of security challenges compared with managing a single commercial property.
Each location has its own layout, access arrangements, security systems and operational requirements.
Self-storage facilities can also present attractive targets for criminal activity due to the nature of the goods stored within them.
Potential threats include:
For an organisation operating six facilities, maintaining consistent security arrangements across every location is particularly important.
An alarm activation at one facility may require a different response procedure from an activation at another.
Similarly, access arrangements, escalation contacts and site-specific risks may vary between locations.
All Boxed Self Storage therefore required a security provider capable of understanding the individual requirements of each site while maintaining a consistent standard of service across the wider portfolio.
The challenge wasn't simply protecting one building. It was ensuring six separate facilities could benefit from a reliable and coordinated security response.
CR2 Security Group supports All Boxed Self Storage through its established mobile security operations across Wiltshire.
Our service is designed to provide professional security attendance when required, removing the need for business owners or employees to personally respond to potentially hazardous alarm activations.
Professional keyholding
CR2 Security Group provides professional keyholding services for the six facilities, enabling authorised security personnel to access premises when required.
This reduces the reliance on internal employees to attend sites outside normal operating hours.
24/7 alarm response capability
Should an intruder alarm activate, our mobile security teams can be deployed in accordance with the agreed response arrangements.
Our officers are trained to approach alarm activations professionally, assess potential risks and follow the appropriate site-specific procedures.
Site-specific security arrangements
Each self-storage facility has different physical characteristics and operational requirements.
Our approach recognises these differences, ensuring that attendance and response procedures are appropriate to the individual location.
Professional security inspections following activations
When attending an alarm activation, officers can undertake the relevant security checks to establish the possible cause of the activation.
Depending on the circumstances and site instructions, this may include checking designated access points, inspecting for signs of forced entry and identifying suspicious activity.
Incident reporting and accountability
Where an incident or alarm activation requires attendance, our officers can document their findings, actions taken and any concerns identified.
This provides All Boxed Self Storage with a clear record of security-related attendances.
Escalation and incident management
If an officer identifies evidence of criminal activity, damage or another security concern, the appropriate escalation procedures can be followed.
This may include notifying designated contacts, requesting emergency assistance where necessary or arranging further action in accordance with agreed instructions.
Locally established mobile security operations
CR2 Security Group operates established mobile security services throughout Wiltshire and surrounding areas.
Our local operational presence and knowledge of the region help support the delivery of a practical, responsive service across multiple facilities.
Managing security across six separate locations requires more than simply holding a set of keys.
Every facility must be treated as an individual security assignment, while still benefiting from the oversight and consistency of a single provider.
For All Boxed Self Storage, a coordinated approach provides several important advantages.
Working with one security provider helps establish a consistent approach to keyholding, alarm response and incident management.
Rather than relying on different arrangements at individual facilities, All Boxed Self Storage can benefit from a structured service across its portfolio.
Out-of-hours alarm activations can create significant disruption for business owners and employees.
By appointing CR2 Security Group as its professional keyholding and alarm response provider, All Boxed Self Storage can reduce the need for internal personnel to attend alarm activations themselves.
An alarm activation does not always indicate a genuine intrusion.
However, every activation needs to be treated appropriately until the circumstances have been established.
Our officers can assess the situation, undertake the agreed checks and escalate concerns when necessary.
Geographical coverage is an important consideration when selecting a security provider for multiple locations.
CR2 Security Group's established operations across Wiltshire enable us to support businesses with premises spread across different towns and commercial areas.
Documented security attendances help provide a record of what occurred, what was identified and what action was taken.
This supports greater transparency and helps organisations maintain oversight of security-related activity across their property portfolio.
The arrangement provides All Boxed Self Storage with a coordinated approach to out-of-hours security across its six supported facilities.
CR2 Security Group provides keyholding and alarm response arrangements across six separate All Boxed Self Storage facilities.
A single provider supports the management of keyholding and alarm response requirements across the portfolio.
Professional security attendance helps reduce the requirement for All Boxed Self Storage employees to personally investigate out-of-hours alarm activations.
Site-specific instructions help ensure security attendances are conducted in accordance with each facility's requirements.
Trained security officers can assess potential security incidents, identify concerns and follow the appropriate reporting and escalation procedures.
Having professional security arrangements in place helps the organisation manage unexpected security incidents and minimise unnecessary operational disruption.
All Boxed Self Storage benefits from the reassurance of having an established security provider available to support its facilities when required.
Self-storage facilities present a unique security environment.
Unlike many conventional commercial premises, a single self-storage site may contain belongings belonging to dozens or potentially hundreds of individual customers.
These belongings can include valuable personal possessions, commercial equipment, business inventory, furniture and important documents.
A security incident can therefore affect more than the storage operator itself.
It may also impact customers who rely on the facility to safeguard their property.
Effective security arrangements can help reduce exposure to these risks.
Physical security measures such as access control systems, intruder alarms, CCTV and secure perimeter fencing all contribute to protecting storage facilities.
However, these systems are only part of the wider security solution.
When an alarm activates, someone still needs to take responsibility for responding.
That is where professional keyholding and alarm response services become particularly valuable.
A trained security officer can attend the location, assess the circumstances and take appropriate action in accordance with the agreed procedures.
For operators managing multiple facilities, this professional response capability provides an important additional layer of security.
Professional keyholding is often misunderstood as simply storing a set of keys until they are needed.
In reality, effective keyholding and alarm response services require considerably more.
They depend on trained personnel, secure key management, accurate site information, appropriate risk assessments and reliable operational procedures.
When responding to a potential security incident, officers must be capable of assessing the situation and making informed decisions.
This may involve identifying signs of attempted entry, recognising potential hazards, communicating with designated contacts and ensuring that any necessary further action is taken.
At CR2 Security Group, we recognise that being entrusted with access to a customer's premises carries significant responsibility.
Our role is not simply to attend when an alarm activates.
It is to provide a professional, accountable and dependable security response when our customers need us.
When selecting a keyholding and alarm response provider, geographical coverage should be an important consideration.
A security company may advertise extensive regional or national coverage, but effective alarm response relies on the availability and positioning of operational resources.
For businesses with multiple premises, understanding how those locations fit within a provider's existing operational footprint is particularly important.
CR2 Security Group has developed an established mobile security presence across Wiltshire, supporting commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare and residential customers.
Our mobile security services include:
By combining local knowledge, established operational resources and experienced personnel, we can deliver security solutions tailored to businesses operating across multiple locations.
For All Boxed Self Storage, this means having a security provider familiar with the region and capable of supporting six individual facilities under one coordinated arrangement.
Security providers are entrusted with protecting people's premises, property and assets.
That responsibility should never be underestimated.
CR2 Security Group operates with a strong emphasis on compliance, professional standards and service quality.
We are proud to hold a range of recognised industry accreditations, including:
These credentials reflect our commitment to delivering professional security services supported by appropriate management systems, operational controls and responsible employment practices.
For customers such as All Boxed Self Storage, selecting an accredited security provider provides additional reassurance regarding the standards expected of the organisation entrusted with protecting their premises.
Our approach is built on reliability, professionalism, transparency and accountability.
The security requirements of a business can become increasingly complex as its property portfolio grows.
Managing one location is very different from overseeing five, six or even twenty separate facilities.
Each additional location introduces new considerations, including:
Having one dependable security partner can help simplify these responsibilities.
