Seeing the growing need of individuals and businesses for additional space, Desmond How and Alex Lee decided to start a company called Flexi Storage in 2014 to provide storage solutions to urbanites.

"The idea was doubly appealing to work on now because it also helps solve an actual need in society,” says Lee, pointing out that a recent research has shown that the top reason for the demand in space in Malaysia is urbanisation.

The storage houses over 200 storage units comprising some 60 different sizes to cater to all kinds of storage needs.

"We wanted to get a storage space that's easily accessible in all weather conditions. We also needed high elevation to prevent any forms of dampness from water," said How.
