About us
The Contractor Co-op was born out of a perceived need for a safe and secure environment for contractors to go about their day to day activities. We want to put you back in control.
The Contractor Co-op is an innovative, employee owned, managed and guided company, providing customers with skilled contractors across a range of industries and professions.
We are fully committed to the co-operative values and principles to ensure that everything we do benefits our members, our customers and the wider business community which we serve.
Becoming a member is easy. Once you are an employee of the Contractor Co-op you will be offered the opportunity to purchase a membership share for £1. As a member you will be entitled to attend and vote at shareholder meetings and even put yourself forward to become a member of the Shareholder Board. Obviously we do not expect you to spend time in the administration of the Contractor Co-op, we have a team of staff to do that.
We must point out that membership of the Contractor Co-op does not mean that you will be able to receive dividends, however, it does mean that you will be part of a community of contractors just like you and you will be able to have a say on the strategic direction of the business.
For more background information on what being part of a worker co-operative means for you please see our contractor guide Working in a Co-operative.
