About Us
In January 2026, Scottish Capital announced a twenty-five million pound investment in LOCKUP.
LOCKUP is the latest storage and micro workspace brand investment for Scottish Capital. LOCKUP is a 24-hour access drive up fully automated storage and micro workspace business.
The investment in LOCKUP has funded the first site opened in Paisley in January 2026 as well as high visibility sites in Cumbernauld, Dundee and Port Glasgow. Further sites will be announced in due course, and the plan is to expand the brand across the UK.
LOCKUP simplifies storage and micro-workspace for customers through a streamlined, AI-driven experience. The business operates on a fully automated platform, featuring online booking, ID verification, keyless access and AI-enabled CCTV, with five simple unit sizes available: S, M, L, XL and XXL.
LOCKUP will be run in partnership with Asset Management Partners who are the established partners with Scottish Capital on the Storage Vault and CoVault portfolios.
“LOCKUP is an exciting addition to our existing portfolios with all drive up fully automated keyless units, and simple unit sizes that are more customer friendly.” Said Anthony McAteer, Managing Director at LOCKUP and Asset Management Partners.
“I was inspired to launch LOCKUP after a 3-week tour in Australia and visiting the Swift Storage sites opened by my good friend and storage guru Jon Perrins, and based on previous conversations with US storage legend Jefferson Shreve of Storage Express.
Our partnership with Asset Management Partners has been beyond our expectations making Scottish Capital the largest storage and workspace owner in Scotland and the time is now right to expand into the rest of the UK. I have every confidence that the team will continue to exceed our expectations and deliver for customers across the UK” said John McGlynn, founder of Scottish Capital.
