Co-operative Development Scotland and Business Gateway are launching a series of events to showcase the consortia business model across Scotland. Consortia businesses allow members to buy, produce and sell more efficiently, whilst retaining their independence.They are suitable for a wide range of businesses ranging from joiners, hairdressers and musicians through to food producers, manufacturers and professional services firms. Each member business has equal influence and control and can share the rewards of working together.
"Consortia can transform the way smaller enterprises collectively produce and sell their products and services," said Sarah Deas, Chief Executive of CDS (pictured above). "Smaller enterprises may not be able to bid for larger contracts alone. By taking a consortia approach, each business brings its expertise to an overall package, opening up new opportunities to bid and trade with organisations of all sizes."
Existing consortia, such as the Argyll Food Producers Group, will explain how they started, how they are managed and how they make a difference to the individual member businesses. Delegates attending the free events will have access to experts and advice on how to form their own consortia.
