Copart’s new Andover site to significantly boost storage capacity in the Southwest

by | Aug 13, 2024

We’re set to significantly boost vehicle storage capacity in the Southwest with our new Andover Operation Centre.

The announcement of this new 27-acre site near Andover, Hampshire, is yet another strand of Copart’s ongoing growth programme, which continues to move forward at pace.

  • Earlier this year, we announced new Operation Centres in St Helens (Merseyside) and Chelmsford (Essex), and major expansion works for our Sandtoft Super Centre to create a huge 130-acre site.
  • We 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 (where we already operate an 80-acre Super Centre) and Oxford and is less than two hours from central London.

By continuously expanding our landbank and operational network across the UK, we can provide close proximity to communities and customers and be there when needed to collect, handle, and store vehicles quickly, efficiently, and with minimal environmental impact.

“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.”

– Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK & Ireland
