My name is Graham Mitchell. I've worked since the 1980s in or alongside the co-operative movement in the UK, starting with colleagues a worker co-operative in the late 1980s, and moving to work with the national central services organisation (ICOM then Co-operatives UK) in 2001. Since then I've been part of teams creating several new cooperative ventures, in food retail, social care, and digital services.

I'm interested in the potential of co-operatives to create an economy that works for all of us, and I have an interest in how technologies can be used to enable and support co-operative working.
