Jonathan, A typical weekly storage rate would be c. 6 pence per box. For each box, there would be an initial charge for registration and barcoding; for example, 75 pence. There may be additional charges to catalogue the actual files within a database. For collection, this is often priced by journey, e.g. £15. For retrieval, this would vary according to required turnaround time; this could cost between £15-30 per journey. Alternatively you could look at scan or fax on demand. Another criteria is whether you require a discrete storage area/room? I've put some information at http://www.thedocumentsite.co.uk/Archive_Storage.html Kind Regards, Reynold. > Dear All Please could anyone provide me with some figures regarding the cost of off- site storage companies in the London region. I am basically looking at 3 factors: 1. Collection service 2. Storage rate (by number of boxes/space) 3. Retrieval service Thank you for your help. < -------------------------------------------------------- Reynold Leming Commercial Director Mint Business Solutions Ltd Failand House, 22 Newbridge Road, Bath, BA1 3JZ Tel: 01225 311993 Email: [log in to unmask] Information Url: http://www.thedocumentsite.co.uk Corporate Url: http://www.mintsolutions.co.uk 'From Information to Innovation' The Mint MCI Knowledge Management Solution
