The People’s Business – 150 Years of The Co-operative

For 150 years The Co-operative has grown to first manufacture and then to sell products. Its services continue to support the families and communities of Great Britain and the world ‘from the cradle to the grave’. This people’s business began its humble origins as the Co-operative Wholesale Society in Greater Manchester in 1863. This fascinating exhibition will explore the story and values behind the ‘caring sharing co-op’ and offer a unique insight into the way we shop and live. Don’t miss an exciting programme of accompanying events and follow #coop150ex on twitter to keep up to date.
