Northgate Vehicle Hire has opened a new branch in Wimbledon.

The launch sees Northgate secure a presence in the Wimbledon area for the first time and forms the next phase of the company’s growth across the capital.

Situated on Plough Lane, Northgate’s new branch will see local businesses  benefit from the company’s flexible vehicle hire offering. The new branch will also deliver 11 new jobs to the area.

Housing over 40 vehicles at any one time, the branch features a range of vehicle rental services designed to help local businesses that have a requirement for long or short term vehicle hire, whether it is one, one hundred or one thousand vehicles.

Michael Johnson, Northgate Wimbledon’s branch manager, said:

“Our new Wimbledon branch falls within the London Borough of Merton, which has a population of 200,500 people. As an affluent suburb of London, with a thriving SME business community, the area is identified as one of 35 major centres in Greater London – providing us with a unique opportunity to deliver our flexible fleet offering in an area in need of quality commercial vehicle hire from a national supplier.”

He added: “In addition, Wimbledon is home to the headquarters of a number of large energy companies, such as Esso UK and EDF Production UK, and has over 100 industrial, trade and business parks in and around a 20-minute drive time zone. Northgate has a wealth of experience in dealing with these industries, making our competitive packages all the more appealing and relevant for local business owners. We are confident that this, paired with our impressive new facilities and flexible offering, will ensure the success of the new Wimbledon branch.”
