The Shop
The CB Shack is one of the largest independent CB radio and truck accessory stores in the UK. It is based inside Poplar 2000 Services, a modern, purpose-built truck stop with a capacity for 400 trucks, in Lymm, Cheshire. The shop has been in it's present location since 1994 when the whole site first opened, since then it's gone from strength to strength and is now one of the most popular
stops along the M6 for thousands of lorry drivers. The CB Shack is a full member of the Forum of Private Business, a link can be found on our links page. The Proprietors
The CB Shack is owned and run by Cliff and Jill Patten. Cliff has been in the CB business for nearly 30 years, he is a qualified radio engineer, and has also held a Class "A" Amateur Radio licence for over 25 years. He became interested in CB when the first few sets trickled in from the 'States many years ago, the hobby became a business, and the rest, as they say is history. Over the years Cliff has made numerous TV and Radio appearances on the subject, and in the '70s he put in many hours of work to "pursuade" the Government to legalise CB Radio in the UK. Jill has been involved in the business for many years, but joined the company full time when it moved to Lymm, bringing her considerable retail knowledge and flair to the business. This ensures that the person who deals with you has a real interest in looking after you. They deal with thousands of HGV drivers a week, and know the business inside out - If you need advice, this is the place to come! We also operate a fully-equipped modern workshop, so if you are unlucky enough to have a problem with your CB or electrical accessory we have the capability to sort it out quickly, usually in your 45 minute driving break.
