Antony Mwaniki on Storage Central and the Growth of Self-Storage in Kenya

In this interview, Antony Mwaniki, Business Development Manager at Acron Holdings, explains that the self-storage sector in Kenya presents a strong opportunity due to the existence of significant but largely informal demand. He notes that many people currently rely on relatives or unsecured spaces to store their belongings, which creates inconvenience and security concerns. Storage Central addresses this gap by offering a formalised solution with secure, well-managed, and professionally operated storage facilities.

He highlights that what makes Storage Central particularly attractive is not only the market potential but also the strength of its management team. The company is backed by experienced operators who have successfully built and scaled the business, demonstrating their ability to execute effectively in the local context.

Mwaniki also emphasises the scalability of the model, pointing to Kenya’s economic growth, Nairobi’s increasing role as a regional hub, and the presence of unmet demand across neighbouring countries such as Uganda and Rwanda. These factors, combined with strong operational expertise, position Storage Central as an attractive opportunity for investors and a platform capable of expanding across East Africa.
