Scotland Firm Innovates Self-Storage Auctions

June 14th, 2007

A Dundee firm has set up a website on which businesses can sell off unwanted or surplus stock, according to the Scotsman. Kangaroo Auctions - the brainchild of Steven Hourston and Chris Stevens, directors of Kangaroo Self-Storage - there is an estimated £24 billion of such stock annually in the UK, the story reprots.

“They claim their idea is Scotland’s first site dedicated to selling their goods, on the internet and, in a pre-launch trial period, has already secured clients as far south as London. The service makes use of a partnership with eBay, the largest online auction site in the world, which at any one time has some three million items listed and some ten million registered users.”

This is brilliant, ingenious, innovative. As self-storage continues to gain momentum on the international scene, firms in non-competing markets can glean from one another for the betterment of the industry.
