Saying thank you made simple

2019 #BeingCoop Awards

 

Our second #BeingCoop Awards were even more successful than the first in 2018.

We received over

3,000 Nominations

40% more than we had for the inaugural awards.

We had 13 categories, including a new category for Co-op apprentices. Our winners enjoyed a bespoke Co-op experience and recognition at our Co-op AGM.

We'd like to thank everyone who took part.
