The business was established in 1974 by Geoff Cooke and has been a family business ever since, now run by his son Matthew Cooke. With over 50 years of experience, they are renowned horsebox manufacturers producing DEFRA-approved vehicles that prioritize safety and functionality. Each of the horseboxes for sale on their website is built with precision, featuring aluminium-planked flooring lined with rubber matting, stainless steel partitions and innovative ventilation systems to ensure the horse travels securely and comfortably.

Cooke Coachbuilders offers a 12 Months warranty on their horseboxes. They also provide professional repair, respray and maintenance services to keep a horsebox in top condition for years to come. The company manufactures quality horseboxes for sale built around each customer's individual requirements rather than a one size fits all approach.

The company is located at 41 - 43 Quakers Coppice, Crewe Gates Farm Industrial Estate, Crewe, Cheshire, CW1 6FA. Their opening hours are Monday to Thursday from 7:30am to 4:00pm, Friday from 7:30am to 3:30pm, with Saturday and Sunday closed. They operate by appointment only for services and are available in opening and out of hours.

The horseboxes are constructed entirely in-house, giving full control over quality at every stage of the build. This means when you buy new from them, you are buying directly from the people who made it. Every decision about materials, layout and finish is made with the horse and rider in mind, not to a generic template.

They offer a wide range of interior finishes and colours, including luxury leathers and various table options. Customers can choose from a wide range of luxury leathers to customise their vehicle. The business specialises in manufacturing bespoke horseboxes, providing unparalleled durability, comfort and style for both horse and rider.

The company has shipped horseboxes to Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Germany, demonstrating an international reach. They have a loyal customer base built up steadily over the years through word of mouth in the equestrian community. The reputation for genuinely bespoke horseboxes travelled long before the company had any kind of online presence to help it along.

The business was established following an apprenticeship with the well-known bespoke motor body builders J.H. Jennings and Son of Sandbach. Across 13 years with the firm, Geoff Cooke built a wide range of commercial vehicle bodies, from mobile libraries and motorhomes through to cattle containers and horseboxes. That variety gave him a genuinely broad understanding of structural design, knowledge he carried directly into the company he went on to found.

In 2015, Matthew Cooke took over the reins from his father Geoff, taking the company forward with fresh ideas and design innovation. He upholds the Cooke commitment to a professional and technical service, responding to customers quickly and accurately while maintaining the reputation for high standards and quality workmanship built up over decades. At Cooke Coachbuilders, personal attention runs through everything they do, backed by genuinely exceptional after-sales service that continues long after a horsebox has been delivered.

The company produces horseboxes across a range of sizes, including 3.5 tonne, 4.5 tonne, 7.5 tonne, 12 tonne, 14 tonne, 16 tonne, 18 tonne, and 26 tonne models, as well as a 16 tonne 50th anniversary edition.
