Rolling Stock Networking: Connect with CB Frost at RSN 2026

At CB Frost & Co, we don’t believe in waiting around when a great opportunity knocks. That is exactly why...

Announcing New Directorships and Leadership Restructuring at CB Frost & Co.

As CB Frost & Co continues to grow and evolve, we are pleased to announce an important organisational restructuring that will strengthen our leadership team and position us for continued success. Effective from 1st August 2025, several key individuals will transition into new roles, reflecting their invaluable contributions and expertise within the company.

We are delighted to formally announce the following appointments to new directorships:

  • Edward Booth, who joined the company in 2008, will assume the role of Compliance Director.
  • Daniel Brock, a member of the team since 2011, will now serve as Sales Director.
  • Richard Hunt, with us since 2015, has been appointed Operations Director.

These individuals have shown exceptional dedication and skill throughout their tenures, and we are confident that their leadership will be instrumental in driving CB Frost & Co forward.

In addition to these new directorships, Mark Jones will transition from his current position as Sales Director to the new role of Commercial Director. Mark’s journey at CB Frost is a testament to his commitment and deep understanding of our business. Having started on the shop floor in 1995, his career has progressed through various roles including order processing, sales engineer, and sales manager before becoming Sales Director in 2011. His wealth of experience across all facets of the company makes him the ideal person for this new strategic position.

Following the appointment of Edward, Daniel and Richard as directors, Mark Jones commented on the integral role they have played in our success over recent years:

“I am immensely proud to see Edward, Daniel, and Richard step into their new directorships. Their dedication and hard work have been instrumental to our company’s success, and these appointments are a testament to their invaluable contributions.

“I am confident that their leadership will be key to our continued growth and innovation for years to come.”

Following his appointment as Compliance Director, Edward Booth expressed his excitement at the start of a new chapter:

“I’m incredibly proud and humbled to accept this new role as Compliance Director at C B Frost & Co.

“This moment marks not just a new title, but a new chapter—one built on years of learning, collaboration, growth, and the support of many individuals within the organisation. I’m deeply grateful to the current senior leadership team who’ve challenged and inspired me to lead and grow with them.

“As I step into this role, I do so with equal parts excitement and responsibility. Directorship isn’t just about decision-making—it’s about setting vision, enabling others, and shaping a culture that drives results with purpose, empathy, and resilience.

“This is just the beginning and I look forward to this exciting new chapter.”

On his appointment as Sales Director, Daniel Brock shared his thoughts on this new milestone in his CB Frost & Co career:

“I’m proud to share that I’ve been promoted to Sales Director after an incredible journey with the company that began in 2011. 

“Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of growing through roles including Sales Executive and Business Development Manager. Each step has been a valuable learning experience, shaping me both professionally and personally. 

“I’m extremely proud of this milestone and excited to continue driving growth, leading our talented team, and pushing boundaries in this new chapter.”

Richard Hunt reflected on what the culture of CB Frost & Co means to him as Operations Director:

“I am honoured to accept the role of Operations Director and become part of the CB Frost history. The company has a proven record of supporting, developing and promoting from within which echo’s one of our core values ‘people first.’ 

“Having spent the first part of my career in the FMCG sector, progressing in roles including production, process technology & material resource planning I took a sidestep into uncharted waters of rubber and sponge at CB Frost. I quickly brought into the culture of the company and shared the vision and its core values. We have an established diverse workforce which has helped speed up my progression through the years and I am proud of the people within our team, company ethos, and the products we supply.

“I am delighted to be part of the current custodians of CB Frost & Co and focused on providing support to the next generation.”

Richard Hunt – Operations Director

We would like to extend our sincere congratulations to Edward, Daniel, Richard, and Mark on their new roles. We look forward to their continued dedication and leadership as they guide CB Frost & Co into this exciting new phase of growth and innovation.

A Look Back at 2024 – CB Frost & Co

The end of the year is approaching, so there is no time like the present to take a look back at key events that have defined 2024 for CB Frost & Co. From navigating another busy events season, to welcoming new talent to our sales team, it has been another year of growth. We are also thrilled to have ended the year by launching our brand new website and online shop, helping us to provide even better service and accessibility to our valued customers.

Join us as we reflect on some of the key moments of this year, and look forward to what’s ahead for us in 2025.

Another exciting exhibition season

This spring and summer brought another exciting exhibition season, starting with the Make UK Defence Networking event that took place on the 21st May. For us, the highlight of this excellent day of networking was the chance to take part in the morning SME Panel. Our business development manager Daniel Brock presented the pros and cons of working within the defence industry, speaking in front of more than 100 guests, and introducing CB Frost & Co as a key cog in the defence industry supply chain.

In July, we exhibited at RSN 2024, the UK’s biggest annual international rail show, which is always a valuable experience for us. This year’s event at Derby Arena featured 154 exhibitors, and was visited by over 2,000 delegates from across the rail industry. As always, RSN provided a prime opportunity to showcase our high performance rail materials and expertise within the sector, as well as making valuable new contacts and reconnecting with many industry friends.

The range of CB Frost branded gifts that we gave away at the event were a great success, and the event as a whole was the best one we have attended yet. We welcomed record numbers of attendees to our stand, and achieved a very pleasing amount of enquiries and orders. Needless to say, we are already booked in to exhibit at RSN 2025, which will take place at Derby Arena on the 3rd July 2025.

Adding to our sales team

A key change for us in 2024 was welcoming Tom Crosby as our new sales engineer. With a background in the retail sector, Tom brings a different perspective and combination of skills to our sales team. From our initial discussions with Tom, it was very clear to us that he was the right person to join our team and align with our vision for the coming years.

We are extremely pleased with how Tom has adapted to his new position and committed to developing his skills and knowledge. We look forward to seeing Tom grow in the key role of developing our business in the future.

CB Frost on TV

Following the announcement of plans for the development of the new Great British Railways HQ, Daniel Brock spoke on BBC News East Midlands about the benefits to future generations that bringing HQ will ensure, safeguarding the rail industry for many years to come.

A brand new website and online shop

To finish 2024, after a lengthy development process, we were delighted to launch the brand new CB frost website. Following the growth of our company in recent years, we recognised that it was time to overhaul our existing website for a new design that balances a modern aesthetic with a more intuitive, user friendly navigation to help us provide the highest level of service to our customers. 

To improve the user experience of our website visitors, we decided on a cleaner, more simplistic mega navigation, providing easy access to our key products, materials, industries and news.

In addition to revamping our website, we also took the opportunity to add an online shop, allowing our customers to buy sheet material and plain or adhesive backed tapes with ease. With a minimalistic design and simple grid layout, our products are easy to find, and available in a variety of sizes and variables, to suit specific needs.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Let us take this opportunity to thank all customers for your support this year. We hope you have a wonderful relaxing Christmas, filled with joy and happiness. Please note that we closed for Christmas on Friday 20th December 2024 and will re-open on Thursday 2nd January 2025. Any online orders taken in this period will be shipped on Friday 3rd January.

We will see you in 2025!
