Europa Worldwide Group has announced that Jack Baxter (right) will become Operations Director from 1 January 2026, joining the company’s board. He succeeds Dan Cook (centre), who is leaving the business at year-end after more than three decades in logistics.
Cook joined Europa shortly after Andrew Baxter (left) acquired the firm in 2013 and helped to reshape it into a £300m-plus operator with 1,300 employees. He was instrumental in the design and rollout of Europa’s Dartford transit hub, now the UK’s largest European groupage facility, and oversaw key service innovations to smooth cross-Channel trade post-Brexit.
Jack Baxter, Andrew’s eldest son, has been with Europa for seven years, working across sales and operations in the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands. Most recently General Manager Haulage in Dartford, he now takes responsibility for guiding Europa’s road freight operation into its next phase of growth.
