To mark the start of 2026, Adrian Ashton joins Mike Wistow for UKSCS's online Co-operative Conversations on 19 January. To book your free place, see the link below ↓
After accidentally re-discovering co-ops at the start of his career 30 years ago, Adrian has been a member of countless organisations. He has been recognised by the RSA and others for his advocacy for the sector, having influenced the ecosystems they operate in and actively supported the development of a range of national support programmes for them.
Now working as a freelance enterprise & charity consultant, co-operative values and principles have heavily influenced his own business model. He has worked with several universities to ‘shoehorn’ co-ops into different curricula (not just in business schools), and works as a co-operative advisor around start-up, growth, and converting to a co-op.
Online events starts at 7:00pm ('virtual doors' open at 6:45pm GMT).
