The Handmade Bakery is one of only a small number of truly artisan bakeries in the UK, working in their community in Slaithwaite, whilst Redditch Co-operative Homes is the largest provider of new build Co-operative Housing in the country. Chelmsford Star have been serving their local community since 1867, whilst Delta-T have been around since 1971 and Whomadeyourpants are relative newcomers, formed in 2008.
