Vanguard Self Storage of Salford is a branch of Vanguard Self Storage, a family-owned British storage business with roots dating back to 1964. Located at Lowry Mill in Swinton, Greater Manchester, the facility provides secure storage solutions for households, students and businesses. Its services include personal and commercial storage, document storage, student storage and caravan storage, with unit sizes ranging from compact lockers to larger spaces for furniture, equipment and business stock.

Beyond its commercial operations, the Salford branch has developed a record of community fundraising through activities involving employees, customers and local businesses. In October 2026, the facility raised £657 for Macmillan Cancer Support through its annual World’s Biggest Coffee Morning and Bake Off, with the company matching the amount to bring the total contribution to £1,315. Organized by employee Alison Taylor, the event combines refreshments and a baking competition to raise money for people affected by cancer and their families. The fundraiser has generated £2,629 for Macmillan over three years, demonstrating how a local business can engage its community in supporting charitable causes.
