How STOREX Sunbury Helped Specificity UK Grow Their Vintage Business

When STOREX Sunbury first opened its doors, David Talkington and his team at Specificity UK were among the very first businesses to come on board – and looking back, joining STOREX has been one of their best decisions.

Passion Meets Practicality

Specificity UK specialises in vintage furniture and décor. Their mission is simple – give overlooked pieces a second chance. Most of their sales happen through their Etsy shop (@specificity_uk), but they also trade at antique and vintage fairs throughout the year.

Each item has potential – with time, care and craftsmanship, they clean, repair and refinish pieces so they can be loved in a new home.

Alongside furniture, they carefully source period-appropriate décor to style their photography, helping customers picture how each piece might look in their own home. Many of these styling items prove so popular that they sell quickly, creating a constant cycle of incoming and outgoing stock – from furniture and décor to packaging materials, market equipment and gazebos.

Without proper space, it could quickly become overwhelming.

The STOREX Difference

That’s where STOREX Sunbury has been invaluable. Having a dedicated, secure storage space allows Specificity UK to operate efficiently and professionally.

Instead of cluttering their homes or constantly moving stock around, they have a central hub at STOREX where everything is organised and accessible. Inventory is stored safely, packaging materials are neatly arranged and the unit doubles as a working area for wrapping and preparing items for dispatch.

For a business where presentation and protection are crucial, that space makes all the difference.

Flexible Hours for a Flexible Business

One of the biggest advantages has been the extended access hours. Running a vintage resale business doesn’t fit neatly into standard working hours. They might return late from a fair or need to pack an Etsy order for next-day dispatch. Being able to access the unit during quieter times allows them to work to their own schedule, prepare last-minute orders and maintain high customer service levels.

More Than Just Storage

David admits that: “STOREX isn’t just storage – it’s part of the backbone of our business. It gives us peace of mind knowing our stock is secure, flexibility to work when it suits us, and the professional space we need to grow.”

“Since being there from the very beginning, we’ve seen our business evolve, and having reliable storage has supported that growth every step of the way. For us, restoring vintage pieces is about giving the past a future. STOREX Sunbury gives us the space and freedom to keep doing exactly that.”
