GOODE Durrant, the parent company of van hire group Northgate Motor Holdings, has been renamed Northgate, marking the final phase of a major company restructuring. The change is part of a five-year expansion for the company strategy for Northgate, announced in June 1998, which aims to double the size of the business.

This will be introduced through a new regional management structure, new IT systems and the opening of new depots around the country.
