Rocket Storage Services was born out of Rocket Scenery 18 years ago.

I had a full circle moment today while taking my daughter to see @JosephMusical. It was the first musical I saw aged 11 & it kickstarted my passion for musical theatre (my signed programme below!). Taking my 8-year-old today was an utter joy. I found it quite emotional at times! https://t.co/fTzVIlRnTH
