📢 Coming soon in UNLOCKED Q2 📢
The UK has entered a period of significant employment law reform, with some of the biggest workplace changes in over a decade set to impact employers from 2026.

From Statutory Sick Pay reforms and new day one employment rights to strengthened whistleblowing protections, these changes could have important implications for self storage businesses of all sizes.

In the upcoming issue of UNLOCKED, we explore, among many other topics, what the new legislation means for employers and the practical steps businesses can take now to prepare.

📬 UNLOCKED Q2 is scheduled to land on members' desks by the end of June.
