Central Midlands - The Co-operative

Who’s who?
Area Committee members are ideally
passionate about supporting their local
community and its people. They’ll be
creative and will have, or want to gain, an
understanding of our business operations
and of the commercial environment in which
The Co-operative Group operates.
To help you choose who to vote for, each
candidate has provided an election address
of up to 220 words. Candidates have been
encouraged to use the election address to
refer to their involvement in the Group and
any relevant experience, qualifications and
qualities.
Candidates have also been encouraged to
submit a recent photograph.
Candidates’ statements appear in random
order in this booklet and on the ballot paper.
Encouraging diversity
The Co-operative Group is committed to
supporting our elected bodies in becoming
more representative of the members and
communities that we serve – whether in
respect of gender, age, ethnicity or other
diversity criteria. Liaising closely with our
Membership Diversity Working Group we
aim to encourage the involvement of a
broader and more diverse range of members
in The Co-operative Group’s affairs.
Candidates have been asked for diversity
information for monitoring purposes in order
to help us measure our progress.
On page 4 you will find diversity
information relating to your current
Area Committee.
