Abstract
Rose Marley joined Co-operatives UK in January 2021 as chief executive officer following the departure of Ed Mayo. Rose, who has worked closely with the Co-operative Group over several years, has a background in social enterprise and is now on the Board of SharpFutures, the community interest company she co-founded in Manchester, UK to support young people into employment in the creative digital industries. In 2021, Rose was included in the Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise (Euclid Network, 2021). Mike Wistow interviewed Rose for UKSCS shortly after her appointment focusing on co-operation, and research, policy, and practice. Much of Rose’s conversational style in her responses has been deliberately captured in this article to give a sense of her energy and passion for what she talks about.
