New premises for rental firm

May 9 2008 Evening Gazette

REFLEX Vehicle Solutions is investing further in its Teesside workforce by opening a new site in the area.

The vehicle rental firm has ploughed about £60,000 into the new premises close to its headquarters at Preston Farm Industrial Estate in Stockton.

The two-acre site will house Reflex’s hire desk, yard and vehicle preparation team and recharge department. Fourteen of the 58-strong Teesside team will be re-locating along with part of the local fleet.

In just four years, Reflex has grown to become one of the top ten UK vehicle rental companies. It now operates more than 6,500 cars and light commercial vehicle.

As well as its Stockton HQ, it has depots in Middlesbrough, Oxfordshire, Glasgow and close to the M25 in London, with plans to open four more centres by 2011.

John Collins, managing director, said: “We are totally committed to continually investing in our Teesside operations.”
