Quotations:

Jonathan Pearce, Marketing Manager at Northgate Vehicle Hire, said:

The last 18 months have been an incredibly busy time for Northgate – with the rebrand and admin centralisation – but it’s great to welcome a new face to the team and see the existing team’s hard work recognised. I know everyone is united in their bid to get stuck into maximising the impact Northgate has on the fleet industry. We have a lot planned over the next 12 months to ensure we stay ahead of the game and maintain our position as leaders in flexible vehicle hire.
