abstract
  • The Midcounties Co-operative is the fourth-largest co-operative in the United Kingdom. It was formed on 24 September 2005 by the merger of the Oxford, Swindon & Gloucester Co-operative Society (OSG) and the West Midlands Co-operative Society (WMCS). The co-operative's geographical trading area spans seven counties, including most of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, the area around Swindon in Wiltshire, Worcestershire, Buckinghamshire and additionally the West Midlands county. It is a consumer co-operative, whose primary business is retailing in many of the central counties of England. A subsidiary, The Midcounties Co-operative Domains Ltd, operates the internet domain name registry for the .coop top level domain. In 2002, the co-operative became the first UK co-op to operate a children's day care facility. It invested in Westmill Wind Farm Co-operative in Watchfield, Oxfordshire, identified by its promoters as the UK's largest community-owned wind farm at its opening in 2008. The founding (non-executive) president is Vivian Woodell (chief executive of The Phone Co-op), who was president of OSG Co-op at the time of the merger.
