Top-five BC50 leasing company ALD Automotive is set relocate its head office in 2016 to provide space for further recruitment and expansion.

Staff will move four miles from the current head office to Vertex Park in Bristol. Planning approval to build the £12 million, 36,000sq ft office was granted last Friday (24 July) and work will begin in the autumn.

“Looking after the needs of blue-chip PLCs, SMEs and private individuals – and being part of an international group that manages over a million vehicles in 40 countries – it’s important that our new office environment not only reflects the size of the business we now are and allows us to continue our planned expansion, but helps us to operate more effectively in meeting the needs of our customers,” said Mel Dawson, managing director of ALD Automotive.
