Annual Report

Having just completed another successful year - our sixteenth successive year of trading profit - this shows just how far the Society has come since its inception more than 170 years ago.

"The Heart of England Co-operative difference."

In fact who would have believed way back in the early part of the 19th century - when a group of ribbon weavers from Lockhurst Lane, near Coventry, formed our original Co-operative Society - the foundations were being laid for what is today, in the 21st century, one of the most successful retail Co-operative societies in the UK.

The Heart of England Co-operative difference can be demonstrated in many ways but perhaps the most fundamental difference between your Society and other major national retailers is that we are entirely local. With around 1000 employees, we are one of the largest and most successful employers within Coventry, Warwickshire, south Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.
