The Masons Story
More about us: For over 100 years the Mason family have been looking after homes and businesses, both locally and across the world. We started out our business life in 1905, when Sidney Mason founded ‘Masons of Barry’, a local removals company that is today known as Masons Moving Group. In 1991, the Mason family saw an opportunity to further help local homes and businesses by offering secure self storage to those needing a little bit of extra space… And so the Welsh Self Storage Centre was born, later to become known as the ‘Space Centre’.
20 years later, we made a decision to go back to our roots, introducing the trusted industry name of Masons to the world of self storage. Over the years, we’ve continued to invest in improvements to better support our customers, most recently completing a significant 7,000 sq ft expansion in 2025. This added 100 new self storage units, bringing our total to 600 storage units and containers across the site.
The past decade saw us introducing additions like our on-site packing supplies shop and completing four major upgrades, each one reflecting our continued growth and investment in our customers.
