Hello!
As a co-operative, we have values which set us apart from other types of business.
For a start, we're not owned by a few wealthy shareholders. In fact, we're owned by our members, the people of Lincolnshire and Newark. Every penny of our profits is returned to our members and their local communities.
Every member is a customer and has a vote in the elections for our Board of Directors. Members can also attend our AGMs each year.
As a co-operative, we're committed to the ethical principles which are important to our members, such as Fairtrade, sourcing products from our trading area and supporting the local community.
What makes us different?
We asked the people of Lincolnshire to tell us what they thought made us different from other businesses. Here's what you told us.
