'Fear & alienation' | Co-op rejects 'toxic culture' claims as senior managers raise leadership concerns

Senior managers at the Co-op have raised concerns about what they describe as a “toxic culture” at executive level, according to a letter sent to the retailer’s board and seen by the BBC.

The member-owned grocery and services group has strongly rejected the claims, saying it does not recognise the criticisms and does not believe they reflect the views of the wider leadership or workforce.
