SUMMARY:Can co-ops save a city? The Preston Story (Sydney)
DESCRIPTION:A Co-operative Blueprint for Local Economic and Social Regeneration\nSydney \nPreston is a city and locality in the UK that has become an exemplar in developing new local strategies for economic and social regeneration famous. It is also one of the UK’s most economically deprived regions. \nThrough radically reforming how its anchor institutions procure services\, and the active promotion of local businesses – especially co-operatives – the City has engineered a major revival of local business activity. \nEminent UK based co-operative historian\, Tony Webster\, will deliver seminars about the Preston Model as part of his visit for the International Co-operative Alliance Research Conference hosted by University of Newcastle. We are fortunate to have someone close to the Preston experience to share his insights. \nThe Demos-PwC Good Growth for Cities Index 2018 named Preston as the UK’s most improved city for economic wellbeing. \n\nReduction in unemployment rate (6.5% in 2014 to 3.1% in 2017)\nRising skills amongst 16-24 year olds\nIn 2014 only 4% of services were procured in the city\, the figure is now 18% and rising.\nAnd the impact is being felt regionally with services procured from the wider county of Lancashire rising from 30% to 70%.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to find out why local authorities in the UK are seeking to emulate the Preston blueprint as a unique strategy for local economic and social revival\, and what insights this model can offer the communities and economic development stakeholders. \nA light lunch will be provided. \nEvent Details\nDate:        Friday 6 December \nTime:        12.30pm – 2.30pm AEST \nVenue:    StateCover Mutual Boardroom\, Level 10\, 28 Margaret Street\, Sydney 2000 \nRSVP:        Register online \nSponsored by: \n \nAbout Tony Webster\nTony is Professor in history at Northumbria University\, Newcastle\, UK. He is a business historian who has published widely on Asia and the co-operative movement. With Professor John Wilson (Director of the Newcastle University Business School\, UK) and Rachael Vorberg-Rugh (the Co-operative College) he wrote Building Co-operation: A Business History of the Co-operative Group 1863-2013 (Oxford University Press 2013).
