General Manager, Eugene Horan, recently spoke to Radio Castledermot, to explain what Copart does in three Quickfire Questions!
How does the public buy from/sell with Copart?
We are a global online auction company selling cars, bikes, buses, HGV’s, agricultural and plant machinery. Basically, anything on wheels!
To become a member (buyer) or a seller, all they need to do is go to our website copart.ie and in a few short, simple steps they can sign up and start buying or selling through our online auctions.
What makes Copart better than all the rest?
The first thing is the vast amount of staff we have throughout the world. Copart is a global company and we are lucky to have part of such a large company based in Castledermot.
Our sole aim is to maximise returns for our customers and we do this through a combination of innovative thinking and a drive to constantly improve the customer experience.
Our auction is unique as it’s the only live auction using our patented online auction technology. We strive to create the most interactive customer experience we can and we’re always investing in our technology.
The Copart process is very transparent, we simply strive to minimise costs and maximise returns for our customers.
How do you see the next 12 months for Copart?
Things are tough for all businesses at the moment, and Covid has had an impact on Copart, but we are always thinking about potential new partners and are confident that we will continue to grow our business over the next 12 months and beyond.
We’ll have been operating in Ireland for 5 years next May and we will be looking to celebrate this with some new partners for 2021.
And, as we continue to grow, we will be looking to hire new local people. We are lucky to have such a global company in Castledermot with the ability to keep developing and growing as we are.
