'For me, everyone has a story. I genuinely love hearing about people's journey: what brought them into the highways industry, how their career developed and where they want to go,' Mr Cobb tells Highways. One of the leading commercial figures in the sector over the last decade and among a handful whose work has had a positive effect right across the industry, Mr Cobb's impressive highways CV stretches back some 15 years. Along the way, he added not just to the growth of every company he worked at, but to the wider sector, its commercial power and its knowledge of itself. From his work as a commercial manager on Surveyorand then Highways magazines, Mr Cobb has built up one of the most extensive personal networks in the sector. He co-created and launched the Cold Comfort Scotland conference and was key to the commercial evolution of the Highways Awards. After his success in publishing and events, he went to work at product supplier Rennicks for a short spell, before becoming head of business development at Gaist and leading the company to its most successful year ever, taking on work from 19 new local authorities in 12 months, including major counties like Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire. |
