A NATIONAL car buying service has opened a new branch in Braintree.

webuyanycar.com is now operating from the Skyline Business Park near Great Notley following the opening of a new office.

The move has created two new jobs and means webuyanycar.com now has five different sites scattered across Essex.

Head of technical services, Richard Evans, said: "Our latest opening in Braintree is testament to the continued growth of webuyanycar.com and our support for customers in the Essex area, who we have been buying many thousands of cars from over the years.

"With the new branch, we hope to reduce customer travelling time by expanding to a more central location.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming many new customers in branch and continuing to be the area’s top consumer choice for selling cars in a convenient and hassle free way."

The Braintree office will be open seven days a week and will offer instant bank transfers to motorists.
