EXPANSION DRIVE TO WEST MEADOWS ESTATE

Europcar, the leader in car hire services in Europe has relocated to a larger and more prominent site at Derby’s West Meadows Industrial Estate after outgrowing its city centre base.

Europcar has taken a 4,942 sq ft unit which estate owners London and Cambridge Properties Ltd (LCP) have refurbished at a cost of £200,000 as part of a wider £500,000 investment in West Meadows.

The relocation to the easily accessible branch at Cranmer Road, just off Pentagon Island will provide greater visiblity for Europcar to local business and leisure customers and joins an extensive Europcar network across the East Midlands.

Ken McCall, Managing Director, Europcar UK Group, said: “We needed a larger site in a great location in order to continue to grow our business in the region. Derby is an important area for us, both for business travellers and for leisure customers looking to visit attractions such as the National Forest, Alton Towers and the Peak District.

“This new branch enables us to give Derby residents and visitors the widest possible choice and flexibility to get on the road as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. LCP carried out extensive works at the site to ensure it met our requirements and we are confident we made the right choice.”

George Dunnicliff of FHP was the agent who handled the letting to Europcar on LCP’s behalf.
