A workers co-operative since 1977
Why I joined Suma
Adds weighting to ethical and eco-friendly decisions I make
Allows me flexibility in my week – I work 4 jobs that I enjoy and have an interest in
I’m my own boss – at 24!
I’m part of a wider family, where I’m
comfortable making decisions and know I have support backing
me
A great, LOCAL, employer for such a
small town
I know I’m a part of the success we make
as a business
Involvement with the local
communities – canal clean ups,
food banks, schools
