Online vehicle remarketing and recycling company Copart UK is set to significantly boost vehicle storage capacity in the Southwest with a new Andover Operation Centre.
The announcement of a 27-acre site near Andover, Hampshire, is yet another strand of the company’s ongoing growth programme, which continues to move forward at pace.
Earlier this year, Copart announced new Operation Centres in St Helens (Merseyside) and Chelmsford (Essex), and major expansion works for their Sandtoft Super Centre in the North of England to create a huge 130-acre site.
The company has also recently opened the doors to three other brand-new Copart Operation Centres in Corby (Northamptonshire), Gloucester, and East Kilbride in Scotland.
The Andover site is strategically placed between major cities Bristol and Oxford and is less than two hours from central London.
Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK and Ireland, said: “This investment will significantly increase our operational capabilities and vehicle storage for customers and buyers in the Southwest, whilst driving down road miles and carbon emissions.
“With the UK car parc growing and diversifying rapidly, and increasing levels of housing development nationwide, Copart Andover will provide yet another key location for us to handle those future volumes.
“It’s a hugely exciting time for Copart and our customers as we keep moving forward with our ‘Land and Expand’ strategy to support the ever-increasing demand for EV handling and emergency response services following extreme weather events.”
