Chairman’s Report

We are guided by our strong commitment to serving our members and our desire to present informed and meaningful insights as the industry continues to mature.

Ivor Morgan, Chairman SSAA

In 2020 we celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the Self Storage Association of Australasia (SSAA).

This milestone has provided an opportunity to reflect upon progress of the industry and to consider the future of self storage.

It has been some years since the SSAA undertook a major research initiative. However, we have just completed extensive surveying and research of the Australasian storage industry which has culminated in the State of the Industry 2020 report. This report reaffirms our commitment to industry research and insights.

As the voice of the industry, we believe it is important to measure and map the continued success of our industry. We are guided by our strong commitment to serving our members and our desire to present informed and meaningful insights as the industry continues to mature.

The State of the Industry 2020 report will be available in three formats which include the highlights, short form and long form versions. On behalf of the SSAA Board, it gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of the inaugural State of the Industry report to our members. Please refer to pages 12-15. This report is one of our many membership benefits which is made possible via your membership fees and generous support from our sponsors.

I would like to make a special mention to our sponsors for the State of the Industry report: l Kennards Self Storage l Storage King l Steel Storage

Their support shows the commitment they have for our industry to assist with bringing valuable information for the benefit of all members.

Thank you to members who responded to research surveys. Your contributions have added significant value to the research and allows the SSAA to provide a comprehensive picture of our industry.

I trust the information contained within the report helps you in your business and I wish you every success in this industry full of opportunity. l
