Company description: Midlands co-operative society ltd. (de24 8qp)
Our story began over 150 years ago, when in 1844 a group of Lancastrians set up the Rochdale Pioneers Society, a co-operative movement which was to spread across the country.
At its peak in 1960, there were around 950 retail societies in the UK.
Following many mergers, however, there are now less than 40, though they each serve a large local community.
Midlands Co-operative Society is the product of mergers with 65 societies.
The most recent have been in the past 20 years:
•1995 – Central Midlands Co-operative Society and Leicestershire Co-operative Society
•2001 – Chesterfield and District Co-operative Society
•2006 – Desborough Industrial Society and Ilkeston Consumer Co-operative
The integration of societies all over the Midlands explains our complex geographical trading area, which is concentrated in Derbyshire and Leicestershire but extends north up to South Yorkshire, west as far as Staffordshire, east across Nottinghamshire into Lincolnshire, and south into Warwickshire, Worcestershire and even Herefordshire.
