NORTHAMPTON-based Cars Direct is expanding to new premises to deal with an expected 100% increase in fleet and finance remarketing business in the next two years.

The purpose-built £1 million premises at Corby will offer vehicle rental, movement, storage, pool fleet management, maintenance and new car delivery.

Cars Direct managing director Roger Woodward said: 'Clients want to achieve the best price, but efficiency of the service is equally important as this is where 'hidden' costs can mount up. The marketplace has changed in recent years with greater emphasis on added value services such as refurbishment, customer-own sales and vehicle movement. Our new premises will enable us to provide more of these services to our customers.'
