Meet the Co-op Leaders
Presented by the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals. Welcome to Meet the Co-op Leaders, the podcast series that features insightful conversations with the people leading innovative and inspiring co-op and mutual businesses. Co-ops and mutuals are the businesses owned by members rather than shareholders. They are all around us and they include some of the biggest brand names. In fact, 80 per cent of us are members of at least one co-op or mutual, but most of us don’t even know that. In an age of putting purpose before profits, it's more important than ever to learn about the original people-centred business model. So we’re bringing the leaders to you, to tell you in their own words what makes this a better way to do business. Melina Morrison, CEO of the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals and co-operative developer and founder of Co-op Bonds, Antony McMullen, present this series. In this series, Melina and Antony will be bringing you a new conversation with a co-op leader every couple of weeks to lift the lid on this business model.
