Works are well underway at our new 31-acre site in East Kilbride to double our operational capacity in Scotland.
Alongside our existing 30-acre site in Whitburn, the addition of East Kilbride offers the potential for us to handle around 100,000 cars per year across Scotland, doubling our operational capabilities in this part of the UK.
East Kilbride is a strategic location close to Glasgow with good transport links, which gives us and our customers a significant northern hub.
The provision of further storage capacity and scale will also increase the geographical reach of our fast and efficient surge management services.
As part of our ongoing sustainability refurbishment programme, facilities at the new site will be constructed responsibly and designed to be inclusive, energy efficient, and eco-friendly.
Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK & Ireland, said:
“Works are now well underway in East Kilbride, further strengthening our unrivalled operational capabilities in Scotland in line with the continued growth of the UK car parc and the ever-changing needs of our customers.
This 31-acre site will provide annual storage capacity for over 49,000 vehicles and with extreme weather events increasing in Scotland, the provision of latent storage capacity is more important than ever.”
We anticipate that the Operation Centre in East Kilbride will be in use by this winter.
