The Tamworth Co-operative Society’s Board of Directors are members of the Society who have been elected by fellow members. They each serve for three years and can then stand for re-election.
The Member Relations Department is run by the Member Relations Committee, a sub-committee of the board based at the Society’s head office in Tamworth. To establish contact with the committee via telephone / email to Mrs Suzanne Archer (01827 337278 or suzanne.archer@tamworth.coop).
