The Co-op to Cuisine workshops offer practical learning opportunities for women-shareholders and provide a forum to learn more about the co-operative and share their experiences.
Attendees will discuss the opportunities for the co-operative and future strategies, gain an insight into how products are shipped abroad, product diversity, markets and the people that make it happen, and hear about new product development initiatives.
The event will also include a practical demonstration of different cuts, examples of packaging and cover consumption trends, cultural considerations and market access requirements. Lunch is also included.
Chief executive David Surveyor, who will attend the first event in Christchurch, said women shareholders made a significant contribution to the co-operative.
“I’m looking forward to updating those women attending on Alliance Group’s strategy and hearing their views.”
Alliance chairman Murray Taggart will attend all the events alongside director Dawn Sangster.
Sangster said they wanted to acknowledge the important role women played in the co-operative and strengthen the company’s links with all shareholders.
“These workshops are a wonderful opportunity to learn and understand more about what Alliance is doing in the market and I encourage women to register.”
