abstract
  • Co-operative Group Limited, trading as The Co-operative Group, is a United Kingdom consumers' co-operative, and one of the world's largest consumer-owned businesses, with 85,000 employees across all its businesses. Regional and local retail societies are corporate members of the Group. Formerly the Co-operative Wholesale Society Limited (CWS), the name was changed to Co-operative Group (CWS) Limited in 2001 following the transfer of engagements of Co-operative Retail Services (CRS) to the CWS in 2000. CWS Retail was formed in 1933 and demerged in 1957 as CRS, with the purpose of opening shops in co-operative deserts and taking over failing retail societies. The Group merged with United Co-operatives, based in Yorkshire and North West England, on 29 July 2007, reinforcing its position as the largest consumer co-operative in the world. The current name was adopted in December 2007. In July 2008, the Group announced a deal to purchase the Somerfield chain of 900 supermarkets and convenience stores for £1.57 billion.
