Concerns over a completed acquisition of a Lancashire vehicle salvage and recycling firm have been raised by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
Following an in-depth investigation, the CMA has provisionally found the deal which saw Copart buy Hills Motors could result in a "substantial lessening of competition" in the market for the supply of salvage services in the UK.
The acquisition, which was completed for an undisclosed sum, was first announced in July 2022.
