Northgate has launched a new Leicester branch, based in Cossington, which offers larger facilities.

Located off Syston Road on Charnwood Edge Business Park, Northgate’s new branch will serve local businesses across Loughborough, Birstall, Melton Mowbray and Leicester City.

The new branch, which is located next to the A46, with access to the M1 and the A6, forms part of Northgate’s plans to expand further and build on recent success, by providing flexible vehicle hire to many more businesses in the local area.

The new branch features a range of services to help the growing fleet size in the area, particularly among businesses operating in the construction, retail and wholesale industries, and will eventually house up to 1,700 vehicles.

Northgate is also rolling out workshop facilities at the new site, which will be serviced by three qualified technicians.

Steve Hanna, Northgate Leicester’s branch manager, said "We have experienced a rise in demand for our flexible services over recent years, and it is this that has prompted us to relocate to the north of the city and open larger premises.

“The area has a strong business presence, with a significant number of both large and small businesses in the area in need of flexible vehicle hire. We are confident that our impressive new facilities and flexible offering will ensure the future success of the branch.”
