Co-operative Business Development Panel (CBDP)

The members of the Co‑operative Business Development Panel are nominated from across the co‑operative sector and appointed by the Board of Co‑operatives UK with the aim of bringing together a range of relevant skills, experience and knowledge.

The aim of the Panel is to:

• provide a forum to share ideas and the knowledge of who is doing what feed creative thinking
• link and connect people, ideas, resources and support
• explore models that work and how they might be replicated and extended
• create an enabling environment for co‑operative development
• disseminate and promote

The CBDP has recruited new members to the panel.  To find out more click here
