Toyota mobility brand Kinto moves its 200 staff into Lakeside North Harbour Portsmouth as part of UK expansion plan

ONE of the largest commercial property deals on the south coast this year has been signed – and will see a Toyota mobility brand move its 200 staff into a new office.

Kinto UK, a fleet management provider which was acquired by Toyota earlier this year, has signed a 10-year lease deal for offices at 1000 Lakeside, North Harbour.

The company has taken a 22,000sq ft office at the business campus which will serve as its new 'centre of excellence' in the UK.

It represents Kinto's significant investment in the UK market and the company's significant growth plans.

Matthew Rumble, CEO at Kinto UK, said: ‘I am delighted that we have been able to secure new office space for Kinto UK Limited at Lakeside North Harbour. We have ambitious growth plans, and the new space will provide us with the additional room we need for the future growth.

‘It also provides fantastic facilities that all our employees and customers can benefit from. I can’t wait to open the doors and invite our customers to step inside once we’ve moved in - in a post Covid world of course.’

Tom Fux, CEO at Toyota Fleet Mobility Europe, said: ‘I am delighted that Kinto UK has signed the lease for the new office space at Lakeside, this is a very important step for the business and the plans we have for the years to come.’
