Chamber Luncheon
The luncheon is sponsored by

STORAGE KING, Chatswood

Tuesday 21st February 2012

David Scanlen
Chairman Storage King

Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, David Scanlen has an established and formidable reputation in the self storage industry as a co owner of the largest self storage brand in Australia, Storage King.

Along with Michael Tate, the two of them have risen from very small and humble beginnings in 1998 to having over 120 stores in Australia and New Zealand today, and is one of the fastest growing licensing and management operations in Australia.

David’s initial background comes from management in PepsiCo and KFC food chains, having gained experience there, he then took a leap of faith into a little known industry in self storage in the early 1990s, joining the Millers Self Storage Group, bringing this company forward from very bleak outlook to almost doubling its business value and income.

Having achieved this, he and Michael Tate decided to take a leap of faith to start a franchising model based on licensing and management in this industry being Storage King. Today its growth figures are staggering and surpassing even the most conservative of estimates.
