YEEP! has appointed Andrew Cooke as Sales Director, as the open parcel locker operator strengthens its commercial team to accelerate its UK expansion and develop more partnerships with major retailers and national chains.
Cooke brings extensive experience in B2B sales, business development and sales leadership, having worked across both established businesses and high-growth companies. He joins from AV technology innovator, Urben, where he focused on enterprise sales and developing major accounts in the UK and in international markets, helping to grow the business significantly. Prior to this he spent almost six years with Michael Page progressing through several roles and managing multiple sales teams within the FTSE 250 recruitment business.
Cooke will lead YEEP!’s sales and site acquisition teams, with responsibility for securing new locker locations, developing relationships with major retail chains and other multi-site organisations. His remit covers both independent sites and larger strategic agreements, with a particular focus on extending the network’s national coverage.
Andrew Cooke, Sales Director at YEEP!, said: “What attracted me to YEEP! was the opportunity to make a real difference in a fast-paced, high-growth, high-performance business. There’s a clear plan, a strong team and an agile approach that means we can make decisions and get things done quickly.
I’ve spent much of my career leading sales teams and developing relationships with businesses, so the chance to bring those two areas together at YEEP! was a big attraction. We’ve already established relationships with some major retailers, but there’s considerable scope to develop those further and bring more national chains onto the network. Ultimately, we want to make it easy for businesses to work with us and build relationships that last.”
The appointment follows a period of significant transformation at YEEP! under CEO Jamie Dickinson, with the business expanding its network from just over 2,250 locations in December 2025 to over 4,000 today, and targeting 5,000 by the end of 2026. Alongside this growth, YEEP! has invested in its senior leadership team, new Generation 3 touchscreen locker technology and operational systems to support a much larger national network.
The company is looking to build on its existing retail partnerships and expand its presence across supermarkets, shopping centres, petrol forecourts and other locations where parcel lockers can provide convenient delivery and returns services.
With competition in the UK out-of-home delivery market increasing, access to suitable locations and strong relationships with retailers and property owners are becoming increasingly important as operators seek to extend their networks. YEEP!’s open-network model allows multiple carriers to use its lockers, while its solar and battery-powered technology enables installation without a mains electricity connection, providing greater flexibility over potential sites.
Jamie Dickinson, CEO of YEEP!, said: “We’ve made a lot of progress over the past year, both in growing the network and putting the right people, technology and systems in place to support the business as it gets bigger.
Andrew has the experience we need to take our commercial operation forward. We have ambitious plans for the network and a strong pipeline of opportunities. Andrew will play an important role in helping us deliver that growth.”
