Worker and community-owned co-operatives are commonplace in different parts of Europe, and have formed a key pillar of new municipal experiments across the globe. Since its foundation Trademark has been working to build up Ireland’s underdeveloped co-operative sector through education, lobbying, policy work and mentoring co-operative enterprises from concept to start-up and through to business development. The Trademark team is on hand to advise anyone who has an idea for a co-operative business or to support existing enterprises in the areas of finance, governance, media and strategic development. We have a long record of assisting in the establishment and continued development of community- and worker-owned enterprises across Ireland and Britain, including the highly successful Belfast Cleaning Society.
