What the Acquisition Means for Customers

The addition of Safeguard’s 34 managed facilities brings All Secure’s national footprint to more than 50 sites. This makes All Secure one of New Zealand’s largest self-storage operators and management platforms — giving customers and independent facility owners:
  • More convenience – with a larger network of locations across metropolitan and regional centres.
  • Reliable service continuity – every facility aligned under the same customer-first standards.
  • Greater choice and flexibility – a wider range of unit sizes and solutions to fit household, tradie, and business needs.
  • Support from a proudly Kiwi-owned provider – ensuring a strong local presence in the self-storage market.

Strengthening the Customer Experience

The integration of Safeguard is designed to be smooth and disruption-free for both existing customers and site owners. By combining Safeguard’s proven expertise in facility management with All Secure’s technology-driven systems and dedicated nationwide team, the expanded network will set a new benchmark for convenience and service in New Zealand’s self-storage industry.

“This is a game-changer for our business and for the self-storage industry in New Zealand,” said Hamish Edwards, General Manager of All Secure Self Storage. “Terry King and his team at Safeguard have built an outstanding portfolio and an excellent reputation nationwide. By bringing them into the All Secure family, we’re not only adding more facilities and services, but also accelerating our growth strategy—creating greater service for our customers, our partners, and the New Zealand self-storage sector as a whole.”

Safeguard’s Customer-First Legacy

Safeguard Self Storage was established following the purchase of Guardian Self Storage by National Storage. At the time, then-General Manager Terry identified a gap in the market for independent facility owners and founded Safeguard as a dedicated outsourced management platform. Under his leadership, the company steadily expanded its footprint across both metropolitan and regional markets, building a trusted brand and service model.

“All Secure recognises the significant effort invested in establishing Safeguard’s Portfolio and Reputation, and we see the transaction as the natural next step in ensuring long-term value and service continuity for clients.” explains Hamish Edwards

Highlights of the Safeguard Self Storage Acquisition

  • 30+ facilities added to the All Secure Group network, taking total sites managed to over 50 nationwide.
  • Expanded third-party management services, ensuring independent operators have access to a proven, New Zealand-owned alternative.
  • Stronger national footprint across both metropolitan hubs and high-growth regional markets.
  • Enhanced technology and marketing resources to improve efficiency, customer engagement, and growth.

Looking Ahead

The integration of Safeguard into the All Secure Group network is already in motion, with every step taken to ensure a smooth transition for customers and site owners. By combining expertise, technology, and service standards, the business is positioned to become New Zealand’s only truly national operator, with facilities stretching from the Far North to the bottom of the South Island.

“We believe in making space simple, and this acquisition allows us to do that on a much bigger scale,” said Hamish Edwards, “For our clients, it means more efficiency, more marketing reach, and the strength of a Kiwi Owned and Operated National brand behind their business.”

All Secure also acknowledges Terry King and the entire Safeguard team for the exceptional business they have built and the contribution they have made to New Zealand’s self-storage sector. Their dedication to service, strong industry relationships, and commitment to operational excellence have been instrumental in Safeguard’s success.

“Because we have grown very rapidly over the past seven years, I recognised the need that if we were to expand further and increase our reach, we needed a to build a much larger support team.” said Terry King, CEO of Safeguard Self Storage. “I’ve known Keith and Hamish for over 16 years now and have seen Keith as a mentor for me in the industry, I reached out to him for some advice a few months ago and decided after many discussions that All Secure Group would be the perfect fit for Safeguard. I feel that the Company is in safe hands with Keith and Hamish at the helm. This has also enabled me to stay in the business and continue with helping the Company grow. I’d like to thank you Keith, Hamish and all of their team for welcoming us with open arms and can’t wait to see where this journey ends up.”
