Drive for Washington-based vehicle hire firm Car 2 U
A VEHICLE hire firm is looking to triple its workforce over the next three years after receiving £135,000 in investment that will enable it to accelerate its growth plans.
Washington-based Car 2 U, which specialises in dual control and 4X4 vehicles, has been backed by the Finance for Business North East Accelerator Fund, managed by Northstar Ventures.
The funding will allow the firm to expand its workforce, which currently consists of six full-time and two part-time staff, by 15 as it looks to break into a number of new business and commercial sectors.
The business supplies vehicles to driving schools and accident management companies, as well as private individuals, and will now look to grow its back-office and sales capabilities. View the press release
