"This is such an exciting time for our Co-op, which is why I wanted to stand for the Member’s Council. It surprised me just how friendly and welcoming everyone at the Co-op has been since I joined.. We all have a common goal, which is to make the Co-op, the business we own, as successful as possible to benefit our members and communities.

Being able to hold our board and executives to account by asking them questions from local members, customers and fellow colleagues, really highlights how being on the council can benefit our Co-op.

"Furthermore, the training I’ve received since being elected to the Council has not only enabled me to be an effective representative but has also significantly benefited me personally in my everyday working life.

I’m very proud to be elected to the member’s council and can’t wait for our journey ahead."
