‘Commercial mobility hubs’ are the way forward for Flex-E-Rent

Enterprise is investing in its 28-strong network of Flex-E-Rent depots, with its new £1 million flagship site in Rugby providing a blueprint for the future.

Billed by Flex-E-Rent as a ‘commercial mobility hub’ for businesses needing flexible access to vans, trucks and specialist vehicles, it occupies a 3.5-acre site that replaces a much smaller depot in Coventry.

It includes three heavy goods vehicle (HGV) workshop bays and seven van bays, as well as both washing and valeting facilities, and can accommodate 3,000 vehicles.

The site also has maintenance and servicing facilities, which Enterprise says will help minimise vehicle downtime.

Danny Glynn (left), managing director of Enterprise Flex-E-Rent, says the Rugby depot is the “prototype” for how it intends to deliver commercial vehicle ‘mobility’ in terms of size and capability. He says:

“It is a clear signal of our ambition to expand and adds another important link to our national branch network, providing businesses with commercial vehicles, technology and expertise essential to keep people and goods moving.”

Glynn adds: “The West Midlands is a key part of the UK economy and there is increasing demand for commercial vehicles from many business sectors.
