Whilst most national retailers exist mainly to maximise profits for shareholders, with co-operative societies all profits produce direct benefits for their primary stakeholders, ie. the society’s members, customers, employees and their local communities – something national retailers are unable to do.

At Circleline we are proud of our long association with co-operative societies across the UK. A working relationship that spans more than 30 years and encompasses corporate identity and branding, report and accounts, advertising, direct mail and website development. It’s our intimate knowledge and understanding of what makes the co-operative different from its high street competitors – in particular their focus on membership, the local community and social responsibility – that has helped us forge successful working partnerships.
