History of Des Coopers Panel Works
Des Cooper began Coopers Panel works in 1987 at 632 Raglan Parade in Warrnambool and brought with him to the business years of experience and knowledge after previously managing several Warrnambool Panel Shops. Des has two sons Paull and Scott who have joined him in the family business.
Des Cooper has semi-retired now, handing the reins over to the two boys a number of years ago. Des still comes to work each day doing odd jobs and tinkers with his own projects including restoring old cars. Des is well known to be able to “fix anything” not just cars.
