About Lock Up

LOCKUP is a brand investment by Scottish Capital, providing fully automated, 24-hour access, drive-up lockups specifically designed for commercial customers. The company's platform is driven by AI, integrating features such as online booking, ID verification, keyless access through a mobile app, and AI-supported CCTV for security.

The business was established with a £25 million investment from Scottish Capital, founded by John McGlynn. The inspiration for LOCKUP came from self-storage models observed in Australia and the United States. The company operates in partnership with Asset Management Partners, which also collaborates with Scottish Capital on its Storage Vault and CoVault portfolios. The first site was opened in Paisley, with plans for rapid UK expansion, including locations in Cumbernauld, Dundee, and Port Glasgow.

LOCKUP serves both commercial and personal storage needs. For businesses, it provides a secure space for documents, tools, and equipment, catering to online retailers and tradespeople who need flexible storage solutions. The service is also available for personal use, such as during a home move or renovation. The business model is based on simplifying the rental process, offering five standard unit sizes (S, M, L, XL, and XXL) that can be reserved online. Revenue is generated through the rental of these storage units.
