Copart UK strengthens West Midlands network with new Stafford Operation Centre

Global leader in online vehicle remarketing and recycling, Copart UK, has announced the opening of a new Operation Centre in Stafford, further strengthening its operational network as part of its ongoing investment in capacity, resilience and service for customers.

The new Stafford location represents an important strategic addition to Copart’s nationwide network, increasing capacity in the West Midlands and reinforcing the company’s ability to respond to growing customer demand and changing vehicle volumes.

Copart Stafford will manage vehicles through every stage of the remarketing process, from collection and secure storage to preparation, online auction and onward movement.

Located under 30 miles from Copart’s Wolverhampton Operation Centre, Stafford will increase the company’s presence in the West Midlands, strengthening their ability to collect, process and move vehicles efficiently for sellers, including major insurance companies and automotive customers.

This additional capacity also strengthens the resilience of Copart’s wider operational network, helping them to manage peaks in demand and respond quickly when vehicle volumes increase following severe weather or other major events.

For Copart Members, Stafford will provide access to an even wider choice of vehicles through the company’s online auctions, while giving buyers in the region another convenient collection location, helping to save time and reduce onward transport distances.

Phil Briggs, Director of Operation Centres, Transport and SVO at Copart UK, said:

“As demand for Copart’s vehicle remarketing and recycling services continues to grow, we’re continuing to invest strategically in our operational network to ensure we have the capacity, resilience, and geographical coverage our customers need.

“Stafford is an important part of that investment, giving us greater capacity and flexibility across the West Midlands, and bringing the total number of Copart locations across the UK and Ireland to 34.

“Expanding our network in this way not only strengthens the geographical reach and resilience of our operational capabilities, but also helps to reduce road miles, fuel use, and associated carbon emissions as part of our ongoing Copart Cares ESG strategy.”

The first auction at Copart Stafford is scheduled to take place on 3rd November 2026.
