CAR buying firm, webuyanycar.com, has confirmed the opening of a new branch in Stroud.

The branch opened last week within the Homebase cark park, on Cainscross Road and is the first branch in the town.

The opening has created one new job for the area.

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

“We’re looking forward to welcoming many new customers in branch.”

He added: “Our new Stroud branch will be open five days a week and will offer instant bank transfers to motorists, saving valuable time.”
