Peter Marks (L), CEO of Co-operative Food and drummer in Angel Square with Paul Birch (R), MD of Revolver World
Revolver World has worked with the Co-operative for a while -- our coffee is in Midcounties Co-operatives around the country -- now we are giving back to the co-operative movement. We're working with a 'co-operative supergroup' of individuals who all work at The Co-operative Group's Manchester headquarters, helping them to release a charity single this Christmas in aid of Mencap through our sister company, indie record label Revolver Records.
We visited the group at their final recording session in Manchester last month; pictured above is our MD Paul Birch with the group's drummer... No less than Co-op Group Chief Executive Peter Marks!
We're delighted to be working with Co-op Group on this charity single - all proceeds will benefit Mencap and we're also making a donation on the single's release day. More details will be published next week; keep watching the Revolver World web site, Facebook and Twitter feed for details!
As a Fairtrade company with the aim of empowering developing world producers, Revolver World has been looking to expand the range of Fairtrade products we supply. As coffee production largely sustains the livelihood of third world producers, Revolver World has decided that this is the next step to take in building our passion for Fairtrade.
Coffee and clothing with a conscience from a little company with big ideas!
