Enterprise Rent-A-Car opens first branch in Aberystwyth, Wales

LONDON, 2016-Feb-09 — /Travel PR News/ — Enterprise Rent-A-Car has opened its first branch in Aberystwyth and created four new job opportunities in the process. Enterprise, which is a family-owned business and part of the world’s largest car rental company, has opened the branch due to strong demand for rental vehicles from local businesses and residents.

One of the four new jobs being created is on Enterprise’s renowned Management Trainee Programme. This enables graduates to develop skills in a wide range of management disciplines including sales and marketing, customer service and finance. Enterprise is an award-winning graduate employer that has won recent accolades from Target Jobs and Rate My Placement.

The new branch is located at a local bodyshop, Autocraft Accident Repair Centre, a company that Enterprise already works with closely. The opening provides a platform for growth within Aberystwyth, and will allow Enterprise to offer a much more convenient service to customers.

Ian Gray, Enterprise Group Rental Manager for Wales and the South West, said: “We are delighted to open this new branch in Aberystwyth, which we are confident will provide huge benefits to our local customers. We have been keen to solidify our presence in Aberystwyth and the surrounding area and we look forward to offering an excellent service in a region that has previously had limited options.

“We are also pleased to be creating jobs and expect to open up more job opportunities as the business continues to grow.”

This is the second branch opening in South West Wales in a matter of months, after the opening of a new branch in Llanelli in November 2015, which also created four new jobs.

The new site adds to Enterprise’s growing network of 19 branches in Wales and more than 400 locations throughout the UK.

The new branch details are:

Autocraft Accident Repair Centre
Unit 8A, Glan Yr Afon Industrial Estate
Aberystwyth
Dyfed
