High Cube Network appoints Elddis' Cook as chairman

Elddis Transport MD Nigel Cook has been appointed chairman of the High Cube Network, a consortium of eight operators, including Elddis, S&R Smith and Sons and Owens Transport, that was launched in April.

Cook announced his appointment in a tweet: “So apparently I became the chairman of the High Cube Network today. If I needed a new job, I would have a canny CV!”

The network specialises in serving customers who have problems with cubing out before they weigh out.

According to Companies House, Cook is one of two directors of the network business, sharing the title with former TDG and Norbert Dentressangle business unit head Mick Wilson.

At the time of the High Cube Network’s formation, Wilson told MT: “Each of the member companies has the passion and accountability of a family-run business, so High Cube Network customers are assured that their goods are in the hands of a business which will do what it promises.”
