IN our latest Sponsors In Focus feature we shine the spotlight on good friends Kangaroo Self Storage - who've supported the Robins for the last eight seasons.

The Lowdown

Kangaroo Self Storage was founded by Chris Stevens in 2004 and the first storage centre opened in Dundee in Scotland in 2005.

Kangaroo has ten storage centres across the North West and Scotland. The company provides secure, personal self storage units to meet the demand for extra storage space from commercial, domestic and student customers.

Customers benefit from flexible storage agreements providing storage from as little as two weeks. With units in all sizes – from the size of a small cupboard right up to a large triple garage – whether a customer is moving house or needs a small warehouse for online stock – there is a storage unit for every need.

“I have been part of our relationship and support for Altrincham FC, right from the start, eight years ago, then as Smart Storage and now as Kangaroo Self Storage.

“More recently we’ve also been supporting Altrincham Juniors FC in a smaller way – by providing storage. I’d personally like to thank the Club and fans for the ongoing support they provide to our annual Christmas Toy Appeal. We will be running the Appeal again this year continuing to support smaller charities that provide much-needed help right across our community and with the support of the Club we know we have been able to reach many more families and young people in need.” Gareth Newcombe, Store Manager in Altrincham

“We love the way Altrincham FC supports the whole of the community. Of course, it’s about the football and the matches, but it’s more than that – it’s this wider sense of community that the Club is fostering that really is important to us. It’s what makes us want to continue giving our support and it’s great to be a part of the Club’s journey both on and off the field.” Chris Stevens, CEO of Kangaroo Self Storage

In several storage sites, Kangaroo offers additional facilities and services over and above storage units. In Altrincham the site has a business hub with meeting room and offices to rent, as well as business units with direct access, mail boxes and long-term parking spaces. There is a range of business services available to help customers operate their business on site including forklifting, delivery receipts service and shredding.

"As you'll be able to see when attending our home games, Kangaroo Self Storage are extremely enthusiastic and visible backers of the Robins, with sponsor boards pitchside, on one of our stands and also boards that are crowd facing.

The support we receive from Chris, Gareth and the Kangaroo team, across different sections of the football club is hugely important to us and in turn we're very keen to support them when it comes to the annual toy collection appeal, which benefits the local community during the festive period each year.

The fact they've been supporters for eight seasons shows how strong a partnership we have and long may that continue." Sam Mackenzie, Interim CEO Altrincham FC
