Located on Paycocke Road, the new branch has capacity for 65 vehicles across the 0.4-acre site, and will service the vehicle needs of businesses, both large and small, operating across the South Essex area

In addition to a contemporary and comfortable waiting area for customers, designated hire desk staff and valeting features, the launch will provide businesses operating in and around the Basildon area with access to the latest fuel-efficient vehicles from leading manufacturers like Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Peugeot and Ford

The branch launch also sees Northgate offering opening deals to local businesses, such as commercial vehicle hire packages starting from £55 per week, in addition to the recent introduction of Northgate’s personal hire offering, which allows the general public to benefit from competitive daily hire rates on both cars and vans.

Peter Trinnaman, branch manager at Northgate’s new Basildon branch, added: ‘Northgate has a unique flexible offering that can be tailored to suit a business’s exact needs. We believe this quality service will help to strengthen the business operation in Basildon, especially ahead of the busy Christmas period when demand can fluctuate dramatically – making Northgate’s flexible offering particularly appealing. Businesses in Basildon are clearly well established and continuing to grow from strength to strength, and we look forward to contributing to this growth via Northgate’s success and that of our customers.’
