Online vehicle remarketing and recycling specialist is expanding its Operation Centre in Peterlee, County Durham.
The expansion will increase the site to 30 acres with a capacity for handling upwards of 38,000 vehicles a year.
It will also include enlarged areas for vehicles that may require specialist handling like EVs, HEVs, and flood and fire damaged vehicles, while new vehicle preparation and valeting areas using state-of-the-art technology to inspect and image vehicles are also being planned.
Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK & Ireland, said: “This expansion at Peterlee will enable us to handle around 38,000 vehicles per annum, supporting Copart’s continued growth and industry leading services in the Northeast alongside our Operation Centres in Sandtoft and York.
“The additional storage capacity will enable us to offer unique contingency land to our customers following extreme weather events and support further the national growth of our onsite Contact Centre which provides vital first response and policy holder management services.”
