Copart UK has plans to expand its Sandy Operation Centre by 27-acres as part of its ongoing growth programme.
The planned expansion will provide a total of just under 60 operational acres at Sandy and will double the annual storage capacity at this location to 80,000 vehicles.
Bedfordshire is an area in which Copart has made a significant investment this year.
The company’s Customer Excellence Centre opened at Franklin Court, Bedford earlier this year, housing Copart’s growing customer service functions, including its Claims Settlement, Customer Support Centre, Vehicle Engineering and Operational Audit teams.
Phil Briggs, Copart UK’s Director of Operation Centres, Transport & Engineering, said: “The planned expansion at our Sandy Operation Centre is set to double our operational capabilities at this location, enabling us to continue providing industry leading vehicle storage and services.”
Jane Pocock, Managing Director of Copart UK & Ireland, said: “Despite the challenges of the past year, it has been and continues to be, an exciting period of growth and re-investment for Copart. We have never stood still and are determined to keep pushing forward with our ambitious growth programme, throughout what is going to be another exciting year ahead.”
Subject to all relevant planning permissions, Copart anticipates the additional 27 acres at the Sandy Operation Centre, which currently employs around 80 people, to be operational by December 2021.
