If you or your organisation would like to join, please complete the application form.
Applicants may be asked to provide evidence of their experience and qualifications if not known to us; and please note that we ask all members as soon as possible to provide a corporate CV following a standard template so that we can secure work more effectively.
We’re a Consortium Co-op of smaller local Co-operative Development Bodies (CDBs) around the UK formed specifically to take on larger and UK wide projects.
We aim to:
- Be the UK’s largest specialist Co-operative Development Body – benefiting our members with access to more, well paid, interesting, work opportunities
- Enable our members to win larger contracts they couldn’t deliver alone
- Utilise our members’ specialist co-operative development knowledge acquired over decades
- Have only advisers/consultants who are experienced co-operators
- Bring co-operative development to locations that do not have an established CDB
