2014 marks the 30th Anniversary of Cook Portable Warehouses, and our corporate mission has never been more important. Over the past 30 years, we have learned many things and developed a set of core values that define who we are and guide our business.
As we move forward with a great deal of optimism and little uncertainty, it is important that we remain true to those values and incorporate them into our vision for the future.
To continue to thrive as a business over the next 10 years and beyond, we must look ahead, understand the trends and forces that will shape our business in the future, and move swiftly to prepare for what’s to come.
We must set a goal, keep that goal clearly in focus, and strive to reach it every day. That’s what Destination 2024 is all about. It creates a long-term destination for our business and provides us with a plan for reaching our goals together as a company.
