Radstock Co-op was confirmed as a finalist in the Somerset Business Awards 2012 organised by the Somerset Chamber of Commerce. The event is in its eighth year and aims to pay tribute to organisations which are innovative, progressive and profitable within the county. This year has seen a twenty per cent increase in the number of entries.
Don Morris, chief executive of the Radstock Co-operative Society said, “We are delighted to have made it through to the final stages of this prestigious award. Our colleagues have worked incredibly hard over the past few years as we have grown the business; our retail estate and farm, whilst producing sound financial results in this tough economic climate. Notwithstanding this, we have maintained and delivered our commitment to our customers, members and the communities in which we serve. We are proud of our achievements and I would be thrilled to receive this accolade on behalf of the Society in recognition of the hard work and commitment of all our colleagues.

Radstock staff ‘Cat Walk’ for Pudsey Bear
Radstock Co-operative Society has traditionally supported the BBC’s Children in Need appeal by putting out the collection buckets at the check-outs across the retail estate in an attempt to persuade customers to donate their loose change to this national cause. This year was no exception with colleagues in many of the Society’s community stores opting to switch the familiar co-op uniform for some more creative and attention-grabbing attire.

Radstock Co-operative Society Supports Local Community |
|
|
|
|
Radstock Co-op is supporting the local Food Bank in conjunction with local churches and the ‘You Can Help’ campaign developed from a partnership of The Salvation Army, ITV’s Daybreak programme and The Co-operative. The aim of the campaign is to get much needed food to those in need.
Here’s how it works.
You can donate tins, cans, dried food i.e. pasta, rice, etc by placing your items in one of the collection boxes throughout the Radstock Co-operative Society’s twelve stores. All we ask is that the goods are in date, with the original packaging intact and are not damaged. We will arrange regular collections to ensure that all donations get to the local distribution point in Midsomer Norton for the onward transportation across our trading areas. We are keen to ensure that help gets to those in our local areas which is why we have donated warehouse space for a period of six months to the scheme’s local coordinators completely free of charge.
