But now a co-operative! Cooperantics LLP was recently registered and we have applied for membership of Co-operatives UK. Partners Kate Whittle & Nathan Brown aim to provide co-operative skills development and other co-operative development services including support, advice, training, facilitation, coaching and the creation of written materials. Although we are starting small we hope in due course to bring in other members, and in particular we will be investigating the potential for developing a co-operative skills apprenticeship scheme.
