From High Street Costs to High-Quality Offices: Why Elite Financial Consulting Chose Storage Giant Bristol

When the cost of running a high street office began to outweigh the benefits, Elite Financial Consulting knew it was time for a change. What they didn’t expect was to find their ideal business home at a place better known for storage units. But for Jon Fry, Director of the award-winning financial advice firm, Storage Giant Bristol turned out to be the perfect solution.

This is the story of how one business made a smart move—literally—and why others should consider doing the same.

Meet Elite Financial Consulting

Founded in 2010, Elite Financial Consulting is an independent firm offering expert advice on mortgages, pensions, investments, and insurance protection. With a small, dedicated team and a string of industry awards under their belt, they’re known for helping people secure their financial futures with clarity and confidence. Director and Financial Advisor, Jon Fry is deeply committed to creating a professional, welcoming environment for both staff and clients.The Challenge: Escaping the High Cost of the High Street

By 2022, the business had hit a common crossroad—rising costs. The expense of running a traditional shopfront was becoming harder to justify. The team wanted something more cost-effective, but still professional. The search was on for a new space—one that ticked all the boxes without hidden extras.

From Sceptic to Advocate: Discovering Storage Giant

With  Storage Giant being recognised primarily as a self-storage facility, Jon admits he was hesitant at first. “I can’t see how this is going to work,” Jon thought initially.

That changed the moment he stepped through the doors of Storage Giant Bristol.

“I was blown away.” With modern, clean offices, shared kitchen, secure access, free boardrooms, and a friendly, collaborative atmosphere, Jon felt like it was the right decision to make Storage Giant the new home for Elite Financial Consulting.

What impressed Jon most was the inclusive pricing. Other commercial spaces looked affordable on paper, but added fees for parking or boardroom access made them far more expensive in practice.

How Storage Giant Supports Their Day-to-Day Work

Today, Elite Financial Consulting operates from a private office within Storage Giant Bristol. It’s become a natural extension of how the team works:

• Boardrooms are used regularly for team meetings and client consultations.
• The shared kitchen fosters connection—not just with colleagues, but with other local entrepreneurs.
• Most importantly, security and privacy are taken seriously. When Elite Financial Consulting operated from a high-street shop, anyone could just walk in. Now, access is controlled—either through reception or fingerprint entry. That’s important for personal safety and for data protection, especially in financial services.

While the shift away from a traditional storefront might seem bold, Jon believes it was the right call.

Would He Recommend Storage Giant? Absolutely.

Jon is clear and recommends Storage Giant to any business owner looking to cut unnecessary costs without compromising on professionalism or facilities.
