Insulating a small shed/workshop?

Guys,

I bought my first house 4 years ago, it came with a car port at the end of my driveway 6m deep and 3m wide. Anyway I built a couple stud walls at the back, 3m deep and 3m wide and put a door in the side which opens into the garden so its like a shed. It's a really simple construction 4 large wooden posts in the corners and cement board cladding on the outside and thats about it with a large pitched roof above which I have boarded out and use for storing all sorts.

Anyway I am now planning to run electricity to it, I laid a cable in anticipation when I did the patio a couple years ago. only issue is the internal walls I just boarded up with OSB when I built it, I need to take them off to run the cables anyway (they're only screwed on) I've priced up some insulation board to fill the walls and ceilings in there and its the best part of £1k... might be a silly question but is it actually worth me insulating what is effectively a shed? Realistically I spend little time in there but I do store some nice bikes, tools etc so if its a case of minimising damp etc... basically I'm looking for someone to convince me spending this money will be worth it.
