The co-operative sector is an important contributor to the British economy, providing good jobs and a stake for workers and members in a democratic model. While there are many famous co-operatives in the British economy, our co-operative sector is smaller than comparable nations like France and the Netherlands. It is clear co-operatives can play a larger role in our economy, helping to create better more prosperous local economies.
Join us for this week’s Co-operation Live where we will hear from representatives from the co-operative sector including Joe Fortune – Co-op Party General Secretary, Rose Marley – CEO Co-ops UK and Glenn Bowen – Interim Chief Exeutive Cwmpas (formerly Wales Co-operative Development Agency) on why and how we can achieve greater co-operative growth.
