Trafford centre valet partner to create 25 jobs with £200k investment

H20, the car valeting firm, is expanding to Manchester following a £200k that will create 25 new jobs.

The business, which has valeted cars for the likes of David Beckham, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher and more, is officially open the doors of its latest site at Manchester’s Trafford Centre this Friday 12th February.

The Manchester site is part of a £5m expansion plan that will see the premium car valeting company double its sites across the UK over the next 5 years and create 150 new jobs in the process.

The company now has nine car valeting centres throughout the UK with branches in high end shopping centres including The Mailbox (Birmingham), The Bullring (Birmingham), Moor Street (Birmingham) Touchwood (Solihull), intu (Derby) Westfield (London), Westfield (Stratford) and intu Merry Hill (West Midlands).

The intu Trafford Centre will become the 10th location and the company says it hopes to attract Manchester’s shoppers along with the city’s premiership footballers, TV soap stars and rich and famous.

Head Of Customer Service Sandra Thompson said “We are thrilled to be opening a new H20 Car Valeting centre in the Trafford Centre Manchester which is one of the busiest shopping malls in Europe. Manchester is a vibrant and exciting city with so much to offer shoppers and we hope to be part of that exciting experience.”

H20 Marketing Director Naveen Dayal said “ For most a car is the second biggest single luxury purchase next to a house. Last year 2.6 million cars were sold making it a record year for car manufacturers and retailers. We have become a nation of car loving enthusiasts, you only have to look at the popularity of car TV programmes like Top Gear and so our cars become statements of who we are, they express our style, personality and individuality.

“We all lead busy lives with demanding jobs and families and so now we also look to solutions that make our lives easier and more convenient. With H20 Car Valeting that was our aim, to make the process of cleaning and valeting your car stress free and to have that “car showroom” new look experience every time.”
