Copart increases vehicle storage capacity by 15% in the West Midlands

Global leader in online vehicle remarketing and recycling, Copart UK, have announced that they are now operating from a 10-acre site in Staffordshire, boosting their vehicle storage capacity in the West Midlands by 15%.

This site will provide the company with storage for an additional 7,000 vehicles per annum in Hixon, Staffordshire.

Located just 30 miles from Copart’s Operation Centre in Wolverhampton, overall vehicle storage capacity for customers operating in the West Midlands will increase by 15%. 

This news follows a series of recent land investment announcements from Copart, including new sites in Corby (Northamptonshire) and East Kilbride (Scotland) as well as continued expansion at their Operation Centres in Rochford, Sandtoft, Westbury, and Wisbech.

This announcement follows recent updates from the company regarding expansions at their existing Operation Centres in Rochford, Westbury, and Wisbech, and the addition of a new 31-acre site in East Kilbride that will double their operational capabilities in Scotland.

Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK & Ireland, said:

“We’re delighted to boost vehicle storage capacity in the West Midlands as part of our ongoing reinvestment strategy into land, transport, services, and technology.

“With an increasingly diverse UK car parc and extreme weather events becoming more commonplace, especially as we head into the winter months, expanding our provision of storage capacity is vital.

“We’re committed to further developing and expanding Copart’s strategically positioned operational network across the UK, providing close proximity to communities and customers so that we can collect, handle, and store vehicles quickly, efficiently, and with minimal environmental impact.”
