Copart UK is doubling its operational capabilities in Scotland with a new operation centre near Glasgow.
Plans for a new 31-acre site in East Kilbride will support the company’s growth in the country, providing strategic operational coverage for Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Phil Briggs, Copart UK’s director of operation centres, transport and engineering, said: “We’re very excited to announce our plans to develop a new Operation Centre in East Kilbride, which will provide annual storage capacity for over 49,000 vehicles. Alongside our existing 30-acre site in Whitburn, it offers the potential for Copart to handle around 100,000 cars per year across Scotland.”
Subject to all relevant planning permissions, Copart anticipates the Operation Centre in East Kilbride to be available for use by the end of 2021, and fully operational in 2022.
