There has been a change of Local Communications Officer for Wellingborough and Rushden, with WBro Trevor Cook now taking over from WBro Rob Mallett, who has performed several years of service.
WBro Trevor Cook
Born and raised in Wellingborough just a stone’s throw from the Masonic Hall, WBro Trevor is well known in the area. He was educated at Victoria Junior School on Mill Road and then at the Grammar School in Wellingborough, before working for Unilever at Colworth House in Sharnbrook, for over 40 years.
WBro Trevor was Initiated into The Gates of Billing Lodge in 1999 and passed through the respective offices before being installed into the Chair of King Solomon in 2006. Whilst this means that his “mother tongue” for ritual is Taylor’s working, he is also fluent in Emulation being a Joining Member of John Pyel Lodge, also in Wellingborough.
A keen member of The Holy Royal Arch and several other Orders based mainly in Wellingborough and Rushden, WBro Trevor has also been a member of the Provincial Demonstration Team since its formation in 2008 and has performed with the group at many Masonic Centres across the Province and further afield.
We thank WBro Rob Mallett for all his past hard work and wish WBro Trevor Cook the very best in his new role
