This month is #BlackHistoryMonth, and we're excited to be working with BYP Network to host a panel discussion event at One Angel Square on Thursday 24 October (5pm - 7.30pm).   The panel features a range of colleagues and senior leaders spanning all our Co-op businesses, and on the night they'll be reflecting on the post "Black Lives Matter" period and asking – has anything really changed?   Tickets are free and everyone is welcome (you'll also get some free food and drinks), but space is limited.
