Big Yellow Group Corporate Events
Big Yellow Group has announced a planned CEO succession, with long-serving co-founder Jim Gibson set to retire and step down from the board in July 2026 after 23 years at the helm. Chief Operating Officer John Hunter, who joined the company in 2024 and has extensive experience in retail and consumer services, will assume the chief executive role following a transition process that the board says has been in development for nearly four years.
Chairman Nicholas Vetch and other senior executives emphasised the structured nature of the succession, highlighting Hunter’s operational, financial and strategic capabilities, as well as his cultural fit within the organisation. The leadership change is framed as a continuity move designed to sustain Big Yellow’s market-leading position in UK self storage and support its ongoing growth strategy, giving investors and other stakeholders reassurance about the stability of management and the long-term development of the business.

Big Yellow Group reported a 2% increase in total revenue to £52.3m for the quarter to 31 December 2025 and 2% growth year to date, supported by higher net achieved rent per square foot, which rose 3–4% despite a modest decline in occupancy. Overall closing occupancy fell to 75.4% amid seasonal weakness and additional new capacity, but the reduction in occupied space was significantly smaller than last year, and like-for-like occupancy performance improved quarter-on-quarter, helped by a recovery in both domestic and business demand, including a notable swing to growth in business occupancy. Like-for-like operating expenses were slightly lower year to date, though the group plans to reinvest savings into digital marketing, and it expects full-year adjusted EPS growth of around 2%, dampened by the absence of a prior-year £4m insurance gain. The company continues to expand its footprint with two recently opened London stores performing well, two more openings planned before year-end, and planning consent secured on most of its 13-site pipeline, while maintaining a conservative, largely variable-rate debt structure that management believes will position the business to benefit from potential interest-rate cuts and further consolidation opportunities in the self storage market.
