Judges impressed by the company ethics, product offering and business growth since they started operating out of storage.
Green Owl Toys has been shortlisted for the Access Self Storage Business Awards 2019. Green Owl Toys was selected out of hundreds of entrants to join six other companies in the shortlist.

Kevin Pratt, spokesperson for the Access Self Storage Business of the Year Awards, says:
“Being shortlisted for this award is a huge achievement as we sifted through an incredibly high calibre of hundreds of entries! What I love about our Business Awards is that we get to see the full breadth of businesses that work out of our 58 stores. As our units range in size from a locker to a football pitch, the businesses are really varied. Each has different and inventive ways of using the Access Self Storage facilities.”
