Co-op

Your Co-op welcomes the Employment Rights Bill, introduced by the Department for Business and Trade. Our Group CEO, Shirine Khoury-Haq has said: "We support the Government's ambitions to strengthen rights for workers and value the co-operative approach to involve employers in the reforms. As the UK’s largest consumer co-operative, Co-op has long supported colleagues to have good working lives, with policies like our leading bereavement leave, day one right to request flexible working arrangements, and menopause support already in place. The positive impact of these policies is clear to see. “Being able to support colleagues when they need it, and in particular women, parents and carers, helps retain valuable talent and makes good business sense. We look forward to continuing to work with Government to make work pay and to deliver economic growth.”

We are so proud to see Co-op Live take the entertainment world by storm. Co-op’s venue partnership is a unique naming rights deal with Oak View Group & City Football Group and is the very definition of co-operation, working together on nearly every aspect of the venue. And Co-op is woven throughout it – from branding to community values, to our exclusive member benefits and to the food we serve our fans. We joined forces with Salford legend Dr. John Cooper Clarke to put into words what makes Co-op Live so special with a poem, Proper Sound, brought to life by Lucky Generals and ICONOCLAST. It is a rhythmic tribute to this incredible Manchester-based music venue built on Co-op values. From the humble days of outdoor bogs to the modern marvel of Co-op Live, John paints a vivid picture of resilience, community, and the boundless power of music. PROPER SOUND
