We’ve had a storage unit here in Wm. O’Brien Storage for nearly 3 years’ now It’s been fantastic, we were really stuck for space when we came here first. Cian and Shannon and the team are all really flexible, the rates are good and it’s just been really easier to work here. So I would like to say thanks a million to the gang here and I really recommend it for any storage needs that you have”

MyCore Supplements

We moved in here to Wm. O’Brien Public Storage about 3 years ago. We initially started with a small unit for our orders from our website, www.mycoresupplements.ie. As time went by, the demand grew for a shop presence here so we were able to expand. We opened the shop that we have here now. It extends to the back here and over the wall as well as a storage area.

The facilities here are brilliant. There’s a forklift whenever we have big orders coming in for the weights that we have or the pallets of supplements. We can leave orders in to reception for collection and our deliveries get taken in by the staff if we’re ever not here. The staff here can’t do enough. They’re always helping us out. If we ever need anything done, they’ll do it for us.

When things were going well for us we were able to expand. And when things were a bit quieter we were able to downsize and take less space than what we had. William and everybody here have been very accommodating that way. We’ve been able to take as much space as we needed at the time depending on what we required. We’re very grateful for the flexibility that this service offers and all the help that they give in general. www.mycoresupplements.ie

I found the sign-up process with Wm. O’Brien’s fabulous. Everyone is always very helpful and efficient. I have had this unit for 2 years without any problem. The trolleys here are a life saver and as well as signing up for a storage room we have access to a van which will help me move my gear fully. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Wm. O’Brien Storage suits us perfectly. It has 24 hour access. It’s nice and clean. We have a locked unit where we can access our belongings whenever we want. The staff are nice and friendly and greatest of all it’s very flexible. So you can upsize or downsize your unit as you need to.

My wife and I moved to Cork just over two months ago and when the removals truck arrived we figured out pretty quickly that not all the stuff was going to fit in to our new house. So while the removal team were still there I called Barry at Wm. O’Brien’s. Barry had a unit ready for us within an hour so that the removal truck could take the remaining furniture and belongings straight to the self storage unit that Barry arranged for us.

We were getting our offices renovated and decided to store with Wm. O’Brien Public Storage. We found them very convenient and easy to use. I’d definitely recommend using them.

Because of space limitations within our stores and having to quarantine donations for a period of 72 hours we found that using Wm. O’Brien Self Storage gives us the advantage that we can continue to accept the high volume of donations we get into the stores from our customers and donors.

Aoife Durity, Ms.DIVA Online Beauty Store

I run an online beauty store. Basically I couldn’t perform this work without the help of Wm. O’Brien Self Storage. As you can see here all my products are stored very safely. I come in every day and look at my online orders. I package them and can leave them with the lads in reception if clients want to click and collect.

Martin O’Driscoll, Chairman, Blood Bikes South

We operate out of Wm. O’Brien Self Storage. For years they’ve been supporting us. It’s a fantastic location - close to all the hospitals this side of the City. We have 24-hour access - secure location -video secure and a keypad to get in. It’s an absolutely essential support for our charity and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to use it.

Fiona Corcoran, The Great Chernobyl Cause

We’re very fortunate to store our aid here at Wm. O’Brien Self Storage on the Bandon Road. William and his team are great supporters of our cause. We store everything from diagnostic equipment to furniture, to clothes, all various goods that we send overseas. It’s a fantastic facility and William is allowing us to store our goods free of charge. When we’re sending aid overseas William and his team come together and they have a forklift and they fill the 40 foot containers and we send them over to the people who are in great need. Without this facility where would we be.

Dan Cummins - DC Properties

I use Wm. O’Brien Public Storage because of its central location, 24-hour access. It’s grand and secure and there are cameras everywhere. The guys in the office are fierce helpful . The containers are good, they’re reasonable priced and good value for money.

Celene Collins

We are a leading Interior Design business in Cork. Using Wm. O'Brien Self Storage has allowed us to undertake large projects as we can control the deliveries ourselves and widen our scope to offer our clients' furniture from UK & Italy. The staff are a pleasure to deal with - nothing is too much trouble and we can access our goods any time, day or night

Joe Keenan

Joe used Wm. O’Brien’s external storage for his furniture while his house was being renovated. This is what he had to say: “What we’ve really enjoyed is that it’s very secure. We have access all the time. We have access in the evening time. Two things in particular have been very good. One is that we are able to offload directly from the van into the containers. There’s a lot of manoeuvring space around them and what I didn’t realise before I ever came is We could actually take some of the stuff out, put it outside, unpack our van, and then decide how best to pack it. So we’ve got our containers packed very efficiently. Everything is nice and dry. Everything is safe. We lock up and can come back whenever we want.”

The location is really convenient for me and the management team is very helpful and friendly.” "It was definitely the location that got me hooked, but over the years it’s the great customer service that encourages me to stay.

Home Square

The security that your premises have is state of the art and left us feeling very secure about our belongings being stored there. We would certainly recommend your company and services to anyone contemplating storing their belongings for any period of time.

Home Square, one of Ireland’s leading retailers for stylish home accessories and gifts, has benefited from the use of the container storage at Wm O’Brien’s since 2016.

Commenting on the container storage, Stephen Jang, Home Square owner, said, “Our business has been growing steadily over the last number of years and I needed somewhere safe and secure to store new deliveries, surplus stock and supplies to support online sales.

The container storage on offer at William O’Brien Public Storage was just what I needed. As I’m self-employed, I don’t work normal hours and the 24/7 access is really important for me.

Flexible contract terms mean that when I’m carrying extra stock, I can easily get an extra container or two to suit my needs. Also, it’s great that the customer service team will accept deliveries for me, which means I don’t have to be on site to sign for stock.

The team have been extremely supportive of our needs, and nothing is ever too much trouble. It’s huge peace of mind for us to know that our stock is safe and well looked after, allowing us to focus more on our day to day business.

When I started renting originally, it was definitely the location that got me hooked, but over the years it’s the great customer service that encourages me to stay.”

Your excellent staff members are always exceptionally helpful. Security is amazing, it is like having my items in a bank vault. Cleanliness is simply outstanding, I have to remind myself I’m actually in a storage facility! Plus, the overall management of your facilities is second to none…
