Northgate Vehicle Hire is investing in the south of Dublin with a new branch.

Located on Sandyford Industrial Estate, the new branch sees Northgate positioned near major local employers Microsoft and Vodafone and is based off Junction 13 on the M50 motorway.

18 miles from Northgate’s existing Dublin branch, the site extends the Northgate network.

The area is already home to businesses in IT, Telecoms and Retail, and Northgate has also seen demand from the local agricultural and construction sectors, as well as property and facilities management companies.

The new site is 4,700 sq. ft. and will house up to 30 vehicles with a mix to suit the needs of all types of businesses, including commercial vehicles of varying sizes and specifications.

Jason Mulchahy, Northgate’s Sandyford sales manager, said:

“Both our short and long-term hire is popular with Dublin businesses and has seen our Irish operation go from strength to strength over the past 12 months. Our products are designed to help local businesses operate agile fleets that are flexible enough to adjust to changes in business activity.

"The flexibility we offer provides Irish companies with all the benefits of purchase and contract hire, but with none of the risk, as customers have the ability to add, remove or change vehicles without penalty. Regardless of whether they operate one, one hundred or one thousand vehicles. The popularity of our products has necessitated the need for an additional branch so that we can penetrate the local area more efficiently.”

Mulchahy added: “In addition to the non-contractual nature of our product, customers also benefit from fully inclusive servicing and maintenance, and 24, 7, 365 breakdown, so fleet operators can budget for their commercial vehicle needs without the worry of spiraling costs, or the hassle of being off the road. We are confident this approach will continue to help local businesses operate more efficiently.”
