BRITAIN'S biggest car and van rental firm, Northgate, has opened a new site in Aberdeen with a kickabout, marking the launch of its fourth Scottish site.

Young football player of the year Kevin McNaughton officially opened the site, which will trade under the name Swift Vehicle Rental.

Roy Kennedy, branch manager, said: 'The expansion of the group into Aberdeen means customers can be better served with group services, including NORFLEX, our flexible rental product.'
