Small co-operative community champions: Essential Trading. Essential Trading is a worker-owned food co-operative, based in the south west of England.
Set up to provide organic, Fairtrade food at reasonable prices, it is committed to supporting independent local businesses, as well as promoting co-operative and community principles. One of the ways it does this is by encouraging and supporting the set up and running of buying groups around the country. It actively seeks trading relationships with other co-operatives, sourcing own-brand products from co-ops around the world and trading with co-operatives within the UK. It also uses smaller service co-operatives, and has recently taken out a loan with Co-operative and Community Finance. Huis vol Energie.nl is vernieuwd !
