UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / February 24, 2020 / The new owner of the Liverpool Airport branch of eco-friendly car rental company Green Motion has announced plans for expansion.

Following the change of ownership, which is effective from 17^th February, the branch at John Lennon Airport will now be run by former Green Motion employee Yasin Ibrahim. Yasin has worked with Green Motion since 2014, gaining experience across a range of operational areas from customer services to fleet management, including acting as pricing manager at Manchester and Liverpool airport sites.

The John Lennon Airport branch currently has three members of staff, although Yasin has plans to employ an additional three or four people as the business grows. He also hopes to triple the current fleet of 25 vehicles to a total of 75 by the summer.

Yasin commented: “I’m very excited to own my first Green Motion site which has such great potential for growth. Having worked with the company for six years, I have a clear understanding of its environmental ethos and commitment to constantly improving customer service. To maintain and improve standards, I will ensure that staff are fully trained and that procedures are properly followed. I intend to focus on the Liverpool Airport branch for the next year, and then have plans to expand into other cities across the north such as Leeds.”

The John Lennon Airport branch was the first Green Motion site to open in the city, followed by the opening of a site at Lime Street station and then a downtown location in 2018. Liverpool was also the second city in the UK to accommodate more than one Green Motion branch. The airport site offers a customer transport service from the terminal to make vehicle collection quicker and easier.  

Green Motion UK’s MD Sian Marston commented: “It’s great to see one of our former employees stepping up to owning his own branch. With the benefit of so much experience in the industry, I’m sure Yasin will make a great success of his new role. Our airport locations are very popular and so his plans for growth are both encouraging and achievable.”

As well as offering low emission vehicles, Green Motion offsets the carbon produced from customer journeys by supporting deforestation projects in the Amazon and a wind energy project in India. They are the only carbon neutral vehicle hire company in the UK.

Green Motion’s John Lennon Airport branch is open 8am till 8pm on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays, 8am till 6pm Tuesdays to Thursdays and 8am to 5pm on Saturdays. More information can be found at www.greenmotion.co.uk.
