Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK & Ireland has won ‘Industry Woman of the Year’ at the 2026 Modern Claims Awards.

With 35+ years of experience within the automotive industry under her belt, Jane leads the second most established market in Copart’s global business and is the only female CEO in our NASDAQ-listed company.

She has full responsibility for all areas of the UK & Ireland business, influencing quality of service at 33 locations, and leading development and growth of Copart UK and its family of brands – U-Pull-It, The Green Parts Specialists, and Cash for Cars.

Here’s what she had to say about the achievement:

“I was genuinely surprised, honoured, and humbled to win Industry Woman of the Year at last week’s Modern Claims Awards.

Unfortunately, I was over at the Copart HQ in Dallas so was unable to attend in person, but it was a fantastic surprise to return home to!

Despite my 35+ years in this sector, every day is still a learning curve for me, and my industry peers and partners continue to inspire and motivate me.

To be recognised for this award amongst such a breadth of talent and expertise across our industry is a real privilege.

Huge thanks to Donna Scully, to Modern Insurance Magazine for hosting the event, and to my amazing team at Copart!”
