We’re excited to announce that we’re expanding our Sandtoft site to create a 110-acre UK ‘Super Centre’ in the North of England.
We’ve acquired an additional 65 acres of land situated on a neighbouring site to our existing 45-acre Sandtoft Operation Centre in North Lincolnshire.
The additional acreage is set to more than double our overall vehicle storage capacity for customers operating in the North of England.
Situated just east of the South Yorkshire border, it will now be Copart’s largest vehicle storage and processing centre in the UK, adding to the existing network of ‘Super Centres’ in Bristol and Sandwich in Kent.
By enhancing our network of Super Centres, we are improving storage capacity for anticipated growth in recycling, electric, and hydrogen vehicles, as well as helping to accelerate the diversification of our business into green parts handling following our purchase of Hills Salvage & Recycling – The Green Parts Specialists.
Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK & Ireland, said:
“Demand from our customers continues to rise and we’re committed to future-proofing their needs, considering the evolving car parc and the increase in extreme weather events like floods.
This expansion will increase our annual vehicle storage capacity to over 120,000 at our Sandtoft site, supporting Copart’s continued growth and industry leading services in the North alongside our Operation Centres in Peterlee, Whitburn, and York.”
