Over the coming weeks the Container Self Storage Mini series is making a return with 5 brand new epsiodes. In this very popular series we will be covering additional topics for investors evaluating the Container Storage business and having conversations with industry influencers.

In this first epsiode we share a live conversation about setup and operating costs with our CPI-Network members. There are a few obvious costs but also those often forgotten when investors draw up a business plan and cashflow analysis for this specialised area.



A big shout out to Chris and his team at Willbox for supporting & sponsoring the series

Setup & Ongoing Costs | Container 2.1

I talk to special guest Gary Wilson, about all aspects of project development in the construction industry. Gary shares his extensive experience in construction, project management, and sales, providing valuable insights and lessons learned from his career.

We look at topics such as the challenges of managing larger developments, the importance of trust and honesty in business relationships, and the significance of meticulous planning and attention to detail in project management. Gary also shares personal stories, including his background in kickboxing and his ventures into the alcohol business. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Gary has extensive experience in project development, starting from his background in construction and sales to his current role as a Construction Development Director at Taymouth Castle.
Gary learned the hard way about the importance of trust and partnerships in business, especially from a past partnership that did not go as planned. This experience taught him to be cautious and selective in choosing business partners.
Gary's involvement in various projects, such as the directional drilling under the River Tay, showcases his persistence and problem-solving skills. He faced challenges head-on and found creative solutions to ensure project success.
Carefully assess opportunities, collaborate with industry experts, and take calculated risks to achieve success in all projects.

BEST MOMENTS

"So the only way we can make this work is I become equity in my equity sweat, and I make this work for you, but you cut me in the deal." 

"So the offer's been concluded. It's been accepted and concluded. So we've now got to put the meat on the bones and take it from there." 

"If I can teach you anything about developments, it's never, ever give up. Keep going. If you've got a dream, if you've got a belief, keep going, keep at it."

From World Amateur Kick Boxing Champion to Project Management of Multi Million £ Developments - with Gary Wilson

In this episode, I interview Stephen Gallagher, a commercial property investor, who shares insights into his background in aerospace engineering and financial services, as well as his journey into property investment. He discusses his investment model with SSAS and details a successful project in Wishaw near Glasgow, where he transformed a CMO (Commercial Multiple Occupancy) property into a thriving serviced office space.

Stephen elaborates on the financial aspects, including valuation, rental income, and the SSAS syndication strategy used for funding. He also touches on some future projects involving boutique apartments and aparthotels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Stephen's investment strategy with SSAS is the prime example of how to get good returns within a pension scheme.
Stephen emphasises the importance of collaborating with others in the industry, sharing knowledge, and building relationships with professionals and investors.
Starting with smaller projects, like the one in Hamilton, can build confidence and provide a stepping stone for larger commercial property investments.
Utilising professional services like quantity surveyors and other experts can help in navigating construction costs, planning permissions, and other challenges in property development.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think engage with some folks that are doing it. I found quite a few individuals dotted around the country, around the UK, who are doing similar things who are incredibly helpful." 

"I think one of the things I noticed as well going around yours, because you're getting great rates for your spaces, is when you have a very large building it's difficult to have scarcity."

SSAS Funded CMO's and Aparthotel Developments with Stephen Gallagher

Join me in this exciting episode as I sit down with Miro Miroslavov from OfficeRnD, a renowned prop tech software company. Together, we uncover the fascinating evolution of their software and highlight its crucial role in tackling the unique challenges of managing flexible workspace.

Miro guides us through the company's growth and their strategic approach of integrating with top-tier solutions, rather than striving to be an all-encompassing platform. We also explore the significance of member experience, seamless data integration, and the future of AI in the industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
OfficeRnD is dedicated to offering an integrated platform that empowers various teams within an organisation to make decisions and easily replace specific components of the entire solution.
OfficeRnD Flex offers prop tech solutions for flexible and co-working spaces, addressing challenges such as billing, member experience, and day-to-day operations.
The company is prioritising the implementation of a Data Hub to analyse and centralise data for future AI integration to enhance business decision-making.
They are working on improving the member experience by streamlining on-demand product purchases and integrating with various marketplaces for increased exposure.

BEST MOMENTS

"The first step for implementing AI is having very robust data. So we decided to use a new concept in the platform, something that we call Data Hub, to integrate different data pieces into one centralised place." 

"One of the things that I'm still amazed at is a customer can go on our website, book up a space or a desk, pay the monies in the bank account before they turn up. It's amazing." 

"Everything goes back to the culture of the organisation."

"It's going to be interesting to come back to this in like two, three years' time, just to see where we're at, particularly the AI stuff. I just think some people's impression with AI is this all-seeing, all-thinking thing."
