Copart Colchester upgrades underway

6th September 2022

Copart is continuing its commitment to its Plan-Net-Zero strategy with major infrastructure upgrades underway at its Colchester Operation Centre.

In line with the sustainability blueprint established at the recently refurbished Bristol Operation Centre, Copart’s Colchester site is following a programme of upgrades that will include state-of-the-art insulation, low energy LED lighting, and new onsite waste treatment facilities to filter and clean water.

As the demand for electric vehicles escalates, the redevelopment at the Colchester site will also introduce dedicated EV areas as well as charging facilities. Plans also include new areas for vehicle preparation and processing, valeting, and 360° imaging.

The company said, “As the partner of choice for most major insurers, alongside our continued efforts to expand and improve our range of customer services, we have a responsibility to operate sustainably and ethically.

“Our programme to upgrade and replace offices at our nationwide Operation Centres will ensure that going forward our offices are always inclusive, energy efficient, and constructed in an environmentally friendly way.”

All upgrades are expected to be completed this year.
