Vehicle salvage and remarketing specialist Copart UK has completed the expansion of its 80-acre Super Centre in Bristol.
The addition of a further 21 acres adds 30% more vehicle capacity, providing secure storage and enlarged areas for vehicles that require specialist handling like EVs, HEVs, and flood and fire damaged vehicles.
Further improvements include an eco-friendly office building, bio-diversity spaces to improve air quality and encourage nature, and new vehicle preparation and valeting areas making the most of state-of-the-art technology to inspect and image vehicles.
Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK & Ireland, said, “Our Bristol Super Centre is a flagship ‘fit for the future’ site for Copart, having undergone an extensive expansion and improvement programme to enable us to keep growing our customer offering and operational capabilities to further service our customer needs.
“This expansion at Bristol will enable us to handle over 82,000 vehicles per annum, supporting Copart’s continued growth and industry leading services in the Southwest alongside our Operation Centres in Newbury and Westbury.
“And with winter fast approaching, this additional capacity will enable us to offer unique contingency land following extreme weather events where our insurance customers require our fast and efficient surge management services.”
