Here at the East of England Co-op we value and celebrate the diversity of our colleagues and believe we’re stronger together. A diverse workforce brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and talent. This diversity is key to the success of our business and our people.

Encouraging diversity is not enough. We are committed to creating an environment where all colleagues feel included and that they belong. That is why we support Pride, not just in June, but all year round.

Pride means more than a parade to us. It is a commitment to all our colleagues to create a culture where LGBTQ+ colleagues can thrive, grow, and feel they belong.

This year, we are proud to sponsor both Norwich Pride and Colchester Pride. Thousands will gather to celebrate on 27 July and 17 August.

We are also pleased to continue our support of Colchester Kings RFC, a gay and inclusive rugby team in East Anglia, as the new front-of-shirt sponsor.

We have provided our colleagues with Pride lanyards featuring the progress Pride flag. Whether working in a Food store, Funeral branch, or Central Support team, our colleagues can show their support for the LGBTQ+ community all year round.

This month will see the opening of a new East of England Co-op Funeral Services branch in Thetford, Norfolk and an East of England Co-op Travel branch in Woodbridge, Suffolk. We're also pleased to announce plans for a new Food store, set to open in Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire this summer marking a move into another new county, following our successful expansion into Cambridgeshire last year.

Doug Field OBE, Chief Executive at the East of England Co-op, said: “These three new branch openings are just the first of several we’re looking to open as we further expand our geographic reach and enhance our offering to our local communities. This is an important year for our co-op as we make progress towards a stronger and sustainable future. We’re really looking forward to welcoming our members and customers when we open our doors.”
