Copart UK will expand vehicle storage capacity at its Wisbech Operation Centre site by 50% after securing planning permission.

This expansion, which follows the launch of a new site in East Kilbride and further investment in its Bristol Super Centre and existing Operation Centres, is part of Copart’s extensive reinvestment strategy which includes a programme of land acquisition and continuous improvement at existing sites.

Phil Briggs, Copart UK’s Director of Operation Centres, Transport & Engineering, said, “We’re fully committed to continuously growing and improving services to our customers, so we’re pleased to be extending our Wisbech Operation Centre, more than doubling its storage capacity in the East of England.

“Not only will this further strengthen our unrivalled operational capabilities in this part of the country in line with the continued growth of the UK car parc, but with extreme weather events becoming more prevalent the provision of latent storage capacity for our customers is more important than ever.”
